Roussette, Savoie, France

With Jura to the north and Switzerland to the east, one would think that the alpine region of Savoie would be inhospitable towards grape growing. But with a combination of perfect sun exposure, mountainous slopes and the moderating influence of rivers and lakes, this region produces some especially powerful white wines! Fermented with natural yeasts and aged on the lees, Altesse is biodynamic and silky AF, all grapefruit zest, green almond, macadamia, pine nut/resin, fresh honeycomb & a real shock of straight-up strawberry with a savoury & salty finish. Drink with an impossibly cool European woman who smokes everywhere, drives like a maniac and has the coolest apartment you've ever seen.
