'Le Tithonien' Mondeuse Rouge is an accessible, characterful red wine made from 100% Mondeuse grapes. This indigenous grape thrives in the argilo-chalky, stony soils facing south to southeast, with views of the Alps. The wine's name, therefore, derives from the geological period in which these chalky slopes of Cruet were formed. In the glass, 'Le Tithonien' displays a deep, purplish-red color with violet reflections. The nose combines small red fruit and violets with distinct peppery notes. On the palate, the wine is supple and juicy, with fresh acidity and a slightly chalky minerality. The tannins provide length and structure without being heavy, making this Mondeuse both accessible and full of character.
'1840' Gamay AOC Vin de Savoie is a charming, fruit-driven red wine made from 100% Gamay grapes. This cuvée is an ode to the estate's founding year and represents accessible drinking pleasure with character. In the glass, Gamay 1840 displays a bright ruby red color with violet reflections. The nose bursts with small red fruits such as strawberry and raspberry, with a subtle menthol note that adds freshness. On the palate, the wine is round and supple, with discreet tannins and a fresh, fruity finish. An uncomplicated, cheerful red wine that invites you to enjoy the next glass.
'Anne de Lisugnan' Rousette de Savoie is a full-bodied, balanced white wine made from 100% Altesse (Roussette) grapes. This wine pays tribute to the woman who, according to legend, brought the Altesse grape to Savoie in 1433. In the glass, "Anne de Lusignan" reveals a light golden yellow with green highlights. The nose is floral and inviting, with notes of white fruit and citrus, complemented by subtle brioche-like aromas from the lees. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and balanced, with a light saltiness on the finish that beautifully reflects the alpine terroir.
Cruet 'Alpine Jacquère' is a fresh, lively white wine made from indigenous Jacquère grapes. The cool alpine climate imparts a distinct freshness, while the southern exposure allows for ripe fruit and aromatic intensity. In the glass, Cruet "Alpine Jacquère" reveals itself as clear and light. The nose is refined with aromas of pear and citrus, complemented by floral notes. On the palate, the wine is taut and lively, with elegant minerality and a fresh, citrusy finish. A pure, thirst-quenching style that perfectly reflects the alpine terroir.
Cruet 'Vieille Vigne' is a layered, expressive white wine made from the indigenous Jacquère grape. This cuvée is sourced from select old vines with an average age of around 50 years, giving the wine extra concentration and depth. In the glass, Cruet 'Vieille Vigne' reveals itself as a bright straw yellow. The nose is dominated by ripe white fruit such as pear and grapefruit, with hints of fresh butter and soft spices in the background. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and slightly creamy, with a fresh backbone and a refined, lightly oaked structure. The finish is reminiscent of toasted almonds and lingers elegantly.
'Fleurs de Montagne' Chardonnay is a fresh, elegant white wine made from 100% Chardonnay grapes from Cruet in the Savoie, where the vineyards are located on ancient glacial moraines. These rocky deposits, formed by retreating glaciers, enrich the soil and give the wine its characteristic minerality and alpine freshness. The result is a Chardonnay that clearly reflects the cool mountain terroir: refined, vibrant, and pure. In the glass, "Fleurs de Montagne" reveals delicate aromas of white fruit with a fresh, clean expression. The palate is lively yet rounded, with a harmonious finish that clearly reflects its alpine origins. A versatile Chardonnay that refreshes and refines in equal measure.
