Can Savoie wines be cellared, or is it better to drink them young?
The great majority of Savoie wines are designed to be enjoyed in their youth, generally within two to four years of the harvest. This is particularly true of whites made from Jacquère — Apremont, Abymes, Chignin — which best express their freshness and floral aromas shortly after bottling. However, some wines from the region have genuine ageing potential. Carefully aged Roussettes de Savoie and Chignin-Bergeron can evolve favourably over five to ten years. Among the reds, the most ambitious Mondeuse d'Arbin can easily age for a decade, developing notes of truffle, leather and spice over time.
