P&S Ravier Savoie “La Peyse” 2020

At Domaine Ravier, wine has been a family affair for generations. It is first of all Philippe, a descendant of a family of Savoyard winegrowers and ardent and passionate about working the land and the vines. His path was traced from an early age. Since 2004, Sylvain has joined his father in the great adventure of wine and shares with him this passion, pride in a job well done, and respect for the terroir. Located on the slopes of the Massif des Bauges and the “La Savoyarde” mountain, the Chignin Bergeron cru benefits from exceptional conditions for the Roussanne grape variety (Bergeron in Savoie) which can be placed at the top of the pyramid of fine Savoie wines, our wines have a surprising aromatic complexity. The remarkable exposure of their vines also makes their Mondeuses exceptional red wines.

Roussanne is a white-wine grape and its wines are characterized by herbal aromas with green tea hint. On the palate it usually exhibit yellow apple and honey with eminent intensity. In the blends with Marsanne, it gives aromatic intensity to complement its richer counterpart's body and structure.

The vineyards of Savoie are situated in the foothills and valleys of the French Alps, benefiting from a cool climate and diverse terroirs. The region primarily produces white wines, although some red and rosé wines are also made. The key grape varieties grown in Savoie include Jacquère, Altesse (also known as Roussette), Mondeuse, Gamay, and Pinot Noir.
