Vendange Roussette Savoie

Domaine Vendange is a family run winery operated by Benjamin Vendange and Diane Gounel. Benjamin, who studied oenology and viticulture in Beaune before returning to Savoie in 2015, comes from a family that runs one of the largest vine nurseries in the region. Together with his partner Diane, an oenologist from Languedoc-Roussillon, Benjamin decided to start an estate with the familys holdings. All of the couple’s 10 hectares of vineyards are planted to glacial till / limestone scree soils with southern exposures. Their approach to vinification is to intervene as little as possible, letting the varietal character of their grapes shine through.

This Altesse (aka Roussette) is from 20 year old vines, native fermented long and cool in stainless, with 1/3 going through MLF. Aged 10 months in a mix of older barrels and stainless.
