Domaine d'Ici La - Roussette de Montagnieu (Altesse) 2020

(Bugey, France)

From alpine vineyards in Bugey, this 'noble' local variety can make some truly profound wines. This is Altesse as you’ve never experienced it. Slow fermentation and slow aging. Bright and alive, yet creamy, opulent and super mineral. A true gem. 

Young couple Florie Brunet and Adrien Bariol established Domaine d’Ici La  in 2017, enchanted by the rugged and mountainous landscape, the local grapes, and the possibility to make their mark on a lesser known appellation, yet one with immense potential as displayed throughout their range.
