Vin de Savoie AOC
Vin de Savoie is an Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée for red and white wines in the Savoy wine region of France, which is located in the foothills of the Alps. The region is divided roughly into three distinct parts: the glacially sculpted terrain along the South shore of Lake Geneva, the hilly country near the northern end of Lac de Bourget, and the area bordering the Massif de Bauges South of Chambéry.
The wines are mostly white, made from grape varieties Chasselas, Jacquère, Altesse, Verdesse, Chardonnay and Roussanne grapes, although there are also some reds made from Mondeuse, Gamay noir and occasionally Pinot noir, and rosés made from Gamay, and some sparkling wines.''Dénominations''
