2021 Chevillard Altesse Roussette de Savoie
2021 Chevillard Altesse Roussette de Savoie
On the nose, ripe apple, juicy orange, and a hint of green tea. Intense and grippy on the palate, with moderate alcohol and a long, refreshing finish.

There are wine styles that are celebrated all over the world—and
others that enjoy cult status in their homeland but have never made it onto the
big international stage. In Savoie, every child knows the Altesse grape variety
and knows that it produces great wines. However, if you ask a sommelier in
Berlin or a wine expert in New York about it, you will often be met with a
questioning look. Yet Altesse deserves much more attention. Its wines are full of
character, with delicate herbal notes, complex texture, and exactly the
freshness that is so sought after today. Matthieu from Domaine de Chevillard
produces one of the best Altesse wines in the region – precise, expressive, and
with great finesse. Unfortunately, as is so often the case, quantities are
limited. So be quick before it's all gone again. On the nose, ripe apple, juicy orange, and a hint of green tea.
Intense and grippy on the palate, with moderate alcohol and a long, refreshing
finish. 94/100 Konstantin Baum
