Pale gold in colour. Intense and complex nose: white stone fruit, acacia, floral and citrus freshness. Rich, supple, mineral and balanced palate. Subtle note of lime and fresh almonds on the finish, supported by the delicate bitterness and a light touch of velvety acacia and honey. A true reflection of the local terroir and grape variety - 100% Altesse (Roussette).

The Savoie village of Arbin, where Château de Mérande is situated, has a long history dating back to 1248. The fifth generation of the Genoux family is currently in charge of running this historic estate. This family has a strong sense of responsibility for the environment. The grapes have never received synthetic chemical treatment and they are naturally managed using an organic and biodynamic practices.

"Certified biodynamic (Biodyvin). Roussette, unoaked.
Creamy and lightly spiced pears – a little bit like Pinot Gris on the nose and with a nice dusty/mineral overlay. A great contrast between the creamy richness of flavour and the excellent freshness. Perfect balance, with roundness from a touch of residual sugar (4 g/l). Drink to 2026."
