Savoy

Producers and Wine Reviews about the "Savoie" Wine offers for "Savoy" in find+buy Show in wein.plus:places

The wine-growing region in south-east France lies between the Rhône region in the west, Lake Geneva on the border with Switzerland and the Italian region of Piedmont in the east. The small AOC area of Bugey lies to the west. To the north lies the Jura region, with which Savoie is often regarded as a common wine-growing area.

History

The Romans were already familiar with the region and Pliny the Elder (23-79) described the resinous character of the wines.
