Roussette de Savoie

White

This Altesse is grown in the limestones of the Chignin alongside Quénard’s Roussanne. Half has blocked malo and is aged in tank, while the other half goes through malo and is aged in Stockinger casks. It’s full gold in colour, with a scent of warm peaches and soft candle wax. The rich, warm, chewy style conveys the impression of a wine that's bigger than itself - it seems sweet yet is fully dry, and it seems warm yet is just 12.5%. Lemon-plum acidity keeps the wine fresh, too. This is a generous Combe de Savoie rendering of Altesse. This, by the way, is the only one of the many ‘Quenard’ domains to spell its name with an accent.
