Domaine Louis Magnin - Roussette de Savoie 2017
15/20
Bettane & Desseauve
A refined Roussette with soft notes of ripe apricot and quince, perfectly smooth. A dense white wine that bursts on the palate, offering a lively balance. A stylish cuvée—simply superb.

Wine rated (2019 guide) 15/20 (2016 vintage) (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2023 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
The Magnins are among the iconic figures of the Savoyard wine region. These two dedicated winemakers, who have been certified organic since 2012, decided to reduce the estate’s size to three hectares starting with the 2018 harvest. While the selection is small, both the white and red wines are absolutely stunning.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a good standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the estate:
This artisanal estate has played a pivotal role in the contemporary history of the Savoyard vineyards. Although the area under cultivation has decreased, meticulous work—both in the vineyard and in the cellar—enables Louis Magnin to achieve the highest levels of expression in both reds and whites. A perfectionist, he demonstrates, across his various vintages, a consistency that few producers in this region can match. Less opulent than in the past, the whites emphasize mineral intensity. Among the Mondeuses—flamboyant yet meant for aging—we continue to prefer (often, though not this year!) the cuvées aged in tanks over those aged in barrels.
