Domaine Edmond Jacquin Roussette de Savoie Altesse 2010 (France) - Wine Review



This white wine is from the July 7 Vintages release that took us on a tour through France. I am very glad to have stopped in Savoie to sample the Altesse varietal (also sometimes known as Roussette). It's gorgeous and still available in stores! Here's my review:

DOMAINE EDMOND JACQUIN ALTESSE ROUSSETTE DE SAVOIE 2010 - AC, Savoie, France (#277335) (D) - $17.95

Tasting Note:
Notes of honey, apricot and melon aromas. Lovely light hints of apricot, peach, melon on the palate, along with some minerality. Some honey and spice come through on the long finish. Slightly off-dry. Medium bodied and very well-balanced. Tasty and highly recommended!

  1. Hmmm, do you know if Rousette is the same as Rousanne?

    Agree on Alsace, make some of the best affordable white wines.

  2. They are not the same. I was wondering this myself and looked it up when I opened the bottle. The Roussanne is different from the Altesse/Rousette varietal.
