NOTES BY OUR SOMMELIERS

👁 a beautiful deep pale yellow, with fine and persistent perlage;

👃🏻 the nose opens slowly with typical aromas of chalk, cream and iodized hints, then with notes of dried fruit and aromatic herbs;

👄 on the palate it is creamy, with returns of peanuts and citrus peel, supported by a very present acidity and an intense iodized finish.

FOOD PAIRINGS

This Crémant de Savoie is a very versatile wine. Thanks to its flavor and fruity notes it can perfectly accompany fish dishes, appetizers, white meats and fresh cheeses. We recommend it with salmon and citrus tartare.

 
WINE-MAKING AND REFINEMENT

This Cremant is made with great care and attention: from the strict selection of the grapes to the care during the pressing and selection of the must. After the traditional alcoholic fermentation in thermo-regulated tanks, the wine is subjected to the Champenoise Method, and at the end ages 12 months in the bottle.

its elegance and freshness. 

ORIGIN

TERROIR

We are in the Savoy. Although the area with vineyards is not large, it produces very interesting wines. The landscapes of Savoy are known for their natural beauty.
The Savoyard microclimates are particular and, despite their diversity, they enjoy a good amount of sunshine and are characterized by very marked traits, which gives the wines a recognizability that is well combined with the savoir-faire of local winemakers. The vineyard extends at the foot of the Alps, over 4 departments: Savoy, Haute-Savoie, Isère and Ain. With an area of almost 2000 hectares, distributed mainly in the departments of Savoy and Haute-Savoie, the wines of this region are proud of their Appellations d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) with very varied terroirs.

WINERY

Philippe Grisard, who has a history of three generations of winemakers behind him, has always been passionate about local vines and his territory.
A mountain man, in 2010 he reoriented his business in Cruet, a small Savoyard village located at the foot of the Massif des Bauges Regional Nature Park. The vineyard is spread over six municipalities.
The diversity of the soils allows the production of a great variety of wines. He is convinced that the future of the local vineyards lies in the authenticity and enhancement of local Alpine vines, and he actively contributes to the new image of the sector. Between tradition and innovation, his bottles reflect his idea of producing authentic wine.
