Marestel

A highly prized Roussette...

"The exotic richness of the aromas echoes the glycerol content, with integrated sweetness, thanks to a vibrant acidity. The elements still need the passage of time to truly harmonise." 16/20 RVF Guide 2018

Roussette is made from the Altesse grape variety. It is a racy wine with a remarkable bouquet of finesse, it goes wonderfully with freshwater fish.

This Roussette "Altesse" has a beautiful acidity in attack, then power and delicacy confer a persistence in mouth. On the nose, a little violet after aeration, smoky and fruity on the palate.

This Roussette can be drunk or kept for a few years to gain in roundness for 5 to 7 years.

It will be appreciated as an aperitif or on the table with a lake fish, a cheese platter made with Tomme de Savoie and Beaufort, a fish starter with a suce à la carte.it will be appreciated as an aperitif or on the table with lake fish, a cheese platter made with Tomme de Savoie and Beaufort, a fish starter with a cream-based suce, asparagus or raw vegetables with mousseline sauces, or with Savoyard dishes such as raclette or tartiflette.

Aged for almost a year in casks and stored for a year after bottling.

All the grapes are harvested by hand, then pressed and the fermentation starts with the yeasts present on the grapes, without any external addition. Very little sulphite is added.

These choices of vinification and maturation give body and aroma to this wine and this natural wine is even more expressive after a few years of cellaring.
