Altesse is a white grape variety primarily grown in the Savoie region of France. It is known for producing aromatic wines with floral and fruity notes, often featuring hints of pear and white flowers. Altesse is typically used in blends but can also be made into single-varietal wines, showcasing its unique characteristics. The grape thrives in cooler climates and is often cultivated on steep slopes, which helps to enhance its acidity and flavor profile. Altesse wines are usually enjoyed young but can also age well, developing more complex flavors over time.
