Terroir
Natural factors
- Zone delimited by Lac Léman/the Rhône to the north-west, the Isère to the south, and the Alps to the east; spanning 3 departments (Savoie, Haute-Savoie, and the canton of Seyssel in the Ain)
- Varied substrates: sandy-gravelly Quaternary alluvium, glacial moraines, calcareous scree, Tertiary molasse, and outcrops of older bedrock
- Climate with an oceanic tendency, disrupted by continental and southern influences; annual rainfall consistently above 1,000 mm (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
- Approximately 1,600 hours of sunshine per year with a warm late season; vineyards oriented south/south-east or west, at elevations between 250 and 600 m
- Humidity heightened by an extensive permanent hydrographic network fed by lakes, snow, and glacial ice from the Alpine massifs
