Crisp minerality, lower acid for a Savoie white but still within balance. Honeysuckle, almost slightly sweet. Some tropical fruits. Round and rich.

Lovely unusual Savoie wine that's a perfect winter white. Burgundian familiarity but without the oak... Nice crisp minerality with a hint of Vouvray-esque Chenin on the finish.

Apple juice. Seriously, when it warms up its apple juice.

My first White Altesse grape. Like Sauv Blanc, with more of a melon aftertaste. Refreshing.

Excellent unusual white. Pear, mild green apple, very slight sweetness mid-palette, subtle white [looked up: gingerbread] spice, medium-length finish. Drink remaining bottles with food.

Nutty and mineral nose; firm, alpine, elegant palate. How to describe finish? A winter pal.
