DECANT SF WILL BE CLOSED FOR A PRIVATE EVENT THE EVENING OF SATURDAY, MARCH 8th.
Chantal and Jean-Pierre Bernard are the husband and wife team who, after studying oenology in Beaune, took over the old Chevallier property in Jongieux in 1996. This picturesque town is the "capital" of the white grape Altesse. It sits east of Lyon near the base of the steep Mont de la Charvaz, named by serious cyclists as one of France's toughest climbs (slopes may reach up to 45 degrees!). It is on the slopes of this mountain, on the "Marestel" hillside cru above the village, that many of the best parcels of Altesse are planted. This personality-filled grape is obligatory in all AOC Roussette de Savoie wines.
- Winemaker: Chantal and Jean-Pierre Bernard
- Varieties: 100% Altesse
- Farming: Organic
- Terroir: Limestone soils
- Tasting Notes: Rich and weighty, with heady floral aromatics, notes of dried pineapple, sweet almond, and a hint of smoke. Would pair beautifully with dishes such as foie gras or scallops.
