Description
VARIETAL: ALTESSE
REGION: SAVOIE, FR
WINEMAKER: Dominique Lucas
VITICULTURE: Certified Biodynamic
100% Altesse from 60 year old extremely low yielding vines grown on granite, raised in an egg-shaped concrete amphora. Son Altesse ("His Highness") is a wine that goes with its name. It reveals an expressive bouquet in which the fine fruit is surrounded by floral notes and candied citrus fruits.
Dominique Lucas has chosen what many would seem an idealistic pursuit, to make Chasselas in the Savoie that stands with the best white wines of France. Despite the grapes low reputation Dominique has been planting the on serious terroirs overlooking Lac Leman (Lake Geneva) and farming them biodynamically since day one. Lucas is a 5th generation winemaker who migrated from his native Burgundy, frustrated with the region’s reliance on chemicals. He landed at a small local winery at Ballaison, on the shore of Lake Geneva. Here, he founded Les Vignes de Paradis, where he trains vines in a chaotic, unpruned method reminiscent of Burgundy’s Lalou Bize-Leroy.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
