AOC Seyssel mousseux

In the departments of Savoie and Jura, on the border with Switzerland, there is a small, little-known vineyard, that of Savoie-Bugey. It is home to the AOC Seyssel sparkling wine.

The appellation area of ​​this AOC extends across the departments of Ain and Haute-Savoie over some 80 hectares of soils mainly composed of gravel, sand and pebbles. Molette and Altesse vines, mainly subject to the continental climate and multiple influences (Mediterranean and oceanic) of this geographical area, are planted in this appellation and make it possible to produce sparkling white wines according to the "traditional Champagne method". Like the wines of the AOC Seyssel, these wines are characterized by their aromatic character marked by fresh fruits and flowers.
