WINE DESCRIPTION
Jean Vullien & Fils Roussette de Savoie Altesse is a white wine that comes from the Savoie region in France. The wine is made by the renowned producer Jean Vullien & Fils, who have been producing wines for generations. The grapes used to make this wine come from vineyards that are located in the foothills of the French Alps, where the soil is rich in limestone and clay. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The resulting wine is crisp, refreshing, and aromatic, with notes of white flowers, citrus, and stone fruit. It is a perfect match for seafood, salads, and light dishes.
