"Princess Roussette!"

Whether you choose to call it Roussette or Altesse, this white grape variety typical of Savoie, which is used to make AOP Roussette de Savoie wines, will seduce you with its original aromas of fresh pear, honey, and white flowers. This cuvée is soft and mellow on the palate, with a most pleasant fresh finish.
