 Altesse translates to "your highness" and is Savoie's most noble variety.

from a miniscule .3 hectare plot! 30 year old vines planted in marl and limestone scree.

Michel joined the Domaine in 1976 but his grandfather has been cultivating the vineyards since 1930. Today, Michel's sons have joined him, Guillaume and Romain. Their cuvées go beyond the simple “eclectic” that categorizes wines from Savoie; they are unique revelations that reflect the complexity of their "Terroir" and the artistry of this Master.

fantastic delicate floral quality to the bouquet, great backbone of acidity, bone dry finish. bergamot and honeysuckle with Alpine minerality and verve. delicious now or can be cellared for a few years and will transform and develop even further.
