Savoie is a wine region situated in the Savoie region in eastern France, and is sometimes referred to as the country of the Allobroges.

The Savoie landscape is distinctly alpine. Between lakes and mountains, the Savoie vineyards hang from slopes or clutch at hillsides in little islands that produce their special growth, from Fréterive in the South, to Evian in the North, passing through Apremont and Jongieux.

With grape varieties Jacquère, Roussanne, Altesse (also known as Roussette) and Gringet for white wines, and Mondeuse for the reds, Savoie is characterised by a number of varieties which are very rare elsewhere, and seem so anchored to their soil that they are not suitable for other locations.

The Savoieard appellations (labels) are distributed through four departments: Haute-Savoie, Ain, Isère and Savoie. Crépy near Lake Geneva and Seyssel in the Ain are easy to locate. But wines labelled Roussette de Savoie and Vin de Savoie can come from anywhere in the wine growing area, unless the label display the name of a village in addition to the appellation. There are 4 Roussette villages: Frangy, Monthoux, Marestel and Monterminod. And there are no less than 17 "Vin de Savoie" villages, the most well known being Apremont, Chignin, Chautagne and Arbin.

Most Savoie wines should be enjoyed young, particularly the white wines from Jacquère grapes, which produce light wines, that are all flowery and fresh. Much richer and more structured, varietal wines from Roussette reach a balance after 2 or 3 years of aging. The same goes for Mondeuse which ages remarkably well and soften their tannins as time goes by.
