Description
Roussette de Savoie, Cuvée Exceptionelle, Jean Masson & Fils, Aprémont, Savoie . This dry white wine from Masson is rare and comes from a small, 70 year old vineyard (0.5 ha). The old vines give little yield. This is one of the most beautiful Roussette wines from Savoie. Rich and full and yet light, typical of mountain wine. Crazy deep, complex and long . A unique experience!
Review Perswijn 1 - 2018: Yellow plums, flowers, lush. Beautifully powerful and juicy, fine acids, length, quince. 16 Points. The renowned French wine magazine Revue des Vins de France (RVF) gives 92/100 .

Roussette? Altesse!
Although the name suggests something red, this is a white wine. Roussette is also not the name of the grape. The grape is the intriguing Altesse , literally height, appropriate for this Alpine region. Altesse grapes produce wines with a full body and lush tropical fruit. At the same time, the wine is also mineral and refined. The appellation within the Savoie is Aprémont .
Jean-Claude Masson only makes white wine. Almost exclusively from the Jacquère grape, which produces a crisp, bone-dry wine. We have those too. Jean-Claude Masson is considered the best winemaker in Aprémont. His son Nicolas also works there these days.
