This is what good wine from the Roussette grape tastes like

Wine made from the French Roussette grape has fresh acidity with mineral undertones, spiciness, and lime. The Roussette grows in Savoie at the foot of the Alps.

It bears strong similarities to the famous Hungarian Furmint, to which it is probably also related. However, exactly how it ended up in the Savoie remains a wine mystery.

There are several appellations in the Savoie that prescribe the use of Roussette: Marestel, Frangy, Monthoux, and Monteminod. If only Roussette de Savoie is stated on the bottle, it may be filled with Chardonnay up to a maximum of half its capacity, in addition to the juice of Roussette (Altesse).
