About the Winery
Denis Fortin is a wine producer in Saint-Baldoph, in the Savoie wine region at the foot of the French Alps. The Savoie is characterized by its mountainous landscape, with vineyards planted on steep slopes at relatively high altitudes. The region specializes in indigenous grape varieties including Jacquère, Roussette (Altesse), and Mondeuse for reds. The wines of Savoie are known for their freshness, minerality, and vibrant acidity, reflecting the cool alpine climate. The white wines pair particularly well with the region's famous cheeses such as Reblochon and Beaufort, as well as fondue and raclette.
