NORTHERN RHÔNE
WINE FROM FRANCE
"The verticality of air: a white wine born where the hillsides touch the sky, offering mineral freshness and an unreachable purity."
Elegance at the Summit
Debout sur les Crêtes 2021 is Domaine de Boisseyt's homage to the most extreme terroirs of France. Situated on the granite ridges of Chavanay, these vineyards benefit from perfect sun exposure and constant ventilation, which delays ripening and concentrates aromas without losing acidity. The result is a white wine of extreme finesse, where the structure of the Marsanne melds with the aromatic delicacy of the Roussanne.
