This area of the French Alps may be better known for its ski slopes than its vineyards, but Jean Vullien and his two son are producing some fantastic wines from this pristine, picturesque landscape. Their sparkling wine made in the classic Champagne method is 30% Chardonnay along with two local varieties, Jacquere 50% and Altesse 20%. a fresh and creamy fizz with a lemonady note on the nose and a refreshingly incisive lemon-crisp bite to its appealing moussey texture.

Upon nosing this Crémant de Savoie, anticipate a bouquet that's delicate and inviting. Fragrances of green apples, citrus fruits like lemon and grapefruit, along with floral hints of white flowers, create a refreshing and aromatic experience. There might also be subtle notes of minerals or herbs, showcasing the wine's terroir.

When sipped, this sparkling wine reveals a crisp and lively palate. It often features flavors of green apples, ripe pears, and a zesty citrus profile, accompanied by a pleasant acidity that provides brightness and vivacity. The fine bubbles enhance the wine's texture, lending a creamy and smooth mouthfeel.
