Quenard Chignin-Bergeron Roussanne

Savoie, France

Savoie's most complex white wine from old-vine Roussanne (locally called Bergeron) from the south-facing Chignin slope — white peach, almond, mountain herbs, honey, and the distinctive alpine mineral freshness. More textural and generous than Jacquère; shows Burgundian white wine influence with alpine character.

Pairing intelligence

• main: The Savoie's winter mountain classic and its finest white wine — Roussanne's texture and almond richness complements the gratin; Reblochon's earthy character bridges the wine's mineral depth
• main: Savoie's prized alpine lake fish and the region's finest white — Roussanne's peach and almond character mirrors the char's delicate flesh; alpine herbs create regional harmony
