Note: RVF 16/20
“The 2009 Roussette is superbly crafted, precise and taut, full-bodied and harmonious: a beautiful white wine, straightforward and flavorful.” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 – RVF Guide). Made exclusively from the Altesse grape variety, sourced from the village of Arbin, and aged on its fine lees, Louis Magnin’s 2009 Roussette offers a ripe nose dominated by notes of pear and citrus. Its beautiful balance and delicate acidity will perfectly complement many fish dishes... A lovely wine that truly represents its grape variety. A must-try!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2023 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard in its sector)
About the estate:
The Magnins are among the most iconic figures in the Savoyard wine region. These two dedicated winemakers, who have been certified organic since 2012, decided to downsize the estate to three hectares starting with the 2018 harvest. While their selection is small, both their white and red wines are truly exquisite.

Rated estate (2023 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high 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 vineyard area has shrunk, Louis Magnin’s meticulous work—both in the vineyard and in the cellar—enables him to achieve exceptional expression in both reds and whites. A perfectionist, he demonstrates a consistency across his various vintages 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 vintages aged in tanks over those aged in barrels.

Review by Mr. ELIE M. Published on March 30, 2013
A bit disappointing—not very aromatic. Maybe I just didn’t taste this Roussette right? Still, I think 14 euros is too much to pay for this bottle. Correction: After a bit more experience, I can say that, in my opinion, Roussette is a pleasant wine, but it’s nothing to write home about.
