Founded in the heart of the Combe de Savoie, the Cave de Cruet brings together passionate winegrowers working on clay-limestone terroirs, exposed South and South-East. The "Sublime" cuvée is an ode to the king grape variety of Savoie, Altesse (or Roussette), which finds its favored ground here to express all its nobility and natural elegance.
The vinification of this cuvée is designed to preserve the aromatic purity of the fruit. The grapes are destemmed before a delicate pressing and cold settling. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at low temperature (16°C) to capture varietal aromas, followed by tangential filtration which guarantees the wine's brightness and clarity without altering its richness.
Upon tasting, "Sublime" lives up to its name with a round and complex palate. It unveils indulgent notes of exotic fruits, lychee, and woodland flowers. The finish is persistent, supported by a beautiful freshness. This white wine will pair wonderfully with ravioles, fresh goat cheese, or pan-seared salmon.
France
Savoie is a mountainous French wine region located near the Swiss border. The region is very fragmented by its mountainous terrain. The cool climate of Savoie dictates the predominance of crisp white wines produced in the region. Despite the difficulty of reds to mature in this type of climate, Savoie is the home of Mondeuse, a red grape variety used to make wines with a significant bitterness.

A very fragrant Roussette! I love its lychee notes; it's a change from the usual white wines. It's super fresh and round at the same time!
