Roussette de Savoie reveals complex, flattering and subtle aromas of exotic fruit, hawthorn and orange blossom. The structure on the palate is balanced and elegant, supported by a nice fatness and a long finish. A complete white!

roussette very dispensable. Far from the region's best

I haven't tasted the 2018 yet, but the 2017 was perfect, typical of roussette, easy to drink both as an aperitif and with a meal. Long live Savoie!
