Roussette de Savoie "Comtesse Blanche" 2023- Domaine Genoux
"La Comtesse Blanche" is an exceptional cuvée and a true gem from Château de Mérande. Crafted from grapes selected during a 2nd or even 3rd pass in the vineyard to achieve optimal ripeness, this Roussette de Savoie (100% Altesse) displays extraordinary richness. Beneath an intense golden-yellow hue, it reveals a complex bouquet of white flowers, citrus, quince paste, and beeswax. On the palate, the wine is generous, supple, and profound, with a mineral backbone that perfectly balances its unctuous texture. Long aging in oak foudres provides an elegant structure and well-integrated wood notes that highlight the grape’s nobility. A great, long-aging white wine—suave and vibrant—sitting at the pinnacle of Savoyard viticulture.

Prestige Plot Selection "La Comtesse Blanche" represents the pinnacle of white wines for the Genoux family. It perfectly illustrates the aging potential and complexity of the Altesse grape when pushed to full ripeness.
-
Enhanced Ripeness: Unlike the "Son Altesse" cuvée, the grapes here are harvested in slight over-ripeness. This choice provides the natural sweetness and rich texture that define this wine.
-
Natural Winemaking: True to biodynamic principles (Demeter), the estate practices natural fermentation (indigenous yeasts) without additives at low temperatures for 6 to 8 weeks.
-
Foudre Balance: Aging in oak foudres on fine lees, without stirring (bâtonnage), allows the wine to refine slowly, integrating its woody notes (discreet vanilla) into a rich and mineral core.
