One of Savoy's most captivating Cremants. Sukhwan Ha's Chant des Flocons captivates from the first sip with its crystalline energy, ultra-fine perlage, and extraordinary mineral freshness. Made from Jacquère and Altesse grapes, it expresses all the purity of the Alpine terroirs of Chignin and Torméry. On the nose, it releases aromas of citrus, white flowers, and fresh peach, accompanied by delicate nuances of brioche from the lees aging. On the palate, it is taut, vibrant, and savory, with an irresistible mouthfeel that immediately invites a second glass.

Christian Tschida's "Non-Tradition" is a fascinating example of how combining different parcels can create a unique and complex tasting experience. Grüner Veltliner grapes come from two distinctive soil types: one limestone and the other on a steep shale slope, both facing south-east and overlooking the lake. The decision to assemble the two wines led to a surprising result: an aromatic complexity and a layering of taste that offer a rich bouquet, with notes of fruit, spices and minerality. The final result is a symphony of flavors that demonstrates how two elements can come together to create something much greater than the sum of the individual parts, a true case in which 1+1 equals 3. A wine that invites to be discovered and appreciated in every nuance of it.
