Savoie Wine - Buy Wine from the Savoie Region of France

The wines of Savoie are hugely popular in situ, being much appreciated by local aficionados, skiers and other winter sports enthusiasts, but are worthy of wider recognition elsewhere. Grown at relatively high altitude in the Isère valley from traditional, local grape varieties, Savoie wines are clean and characterful and not too heavy or high in alcohol. In a world of increasingly high octane mass-production, these carefully-crafted wines are refreshingly understated.

The Tiollier brothers’ Domaine de l’Idylle, based in the village of Cruet, is a family-run operation extending over 19 hectares of vines producing wines that are bien classique.
