Jean Vullien and his wife Jeannine, with the later addition of their sons David and Oliver, have farmed land at the foothills of the Alps, nestled between Chambery and Albertville (the host of the 1992 Winter Olympics, if you recall) since 1973. Made from 100% Altesse grapes, the alpine climate gives this wine a signature racy acidity and pronounced minerality.
Medium-bodied with bright stone fruit flavors, a dry finish, and lovely flavors of hazelnut, almond, and lemon peel. Works beautifully as an aperitif, or as a compliment to escargot with garlic butter.
