The wines of Savoie today make up a mosaic of wines that are very diverse in terms of terroirs and microclimates marked by the know-how of the winegrowers. The vineyards of Savoie cover approximately 2,000 hectares, mainly in the Savoie department, 80% of which can claim an appellation d'origine contrôlée. The four main ones are Crépy, Roussette de Savoie, Seyssel and the regional appellation of Vin de Savoie. The climate is obviously mountainous, particularly humid, but still enjoys a very good amount of sunshine.
The main white grape varieties in Savoy are Chardonnay, Chasselas, Jacquère (the most widespread traditional grape variety in Savoy), Molette blanche for Seyssel wines, Roussanne or Bergeron for Chignin and Roussette.
