The historical land of Savoy emerged as the feudal territory of the House of Savoy during the 11th to 14th centuries. The historical territory is shared between the modern countries of France, Italy, and Switzerland.
Savoy or, in French, Savoie is a wine region situated in the Savoy region in eastern France, and is sometimes referred to as the country of the Allobroges.
The Savoy landscape is distinctly alpine. Between lakes and mountains, the Savoy vineyards hang from slopes or clutch at hillsides in little islands that produce their special growth, from Fréterive in the South, to Evian in the North, passing through Apremont and Jongieux.
With grape varieties Jacquère, Roussanne, Altesse (also known as Roussette) and Gringet for white wines, and Mondeuse for the reds, Savoie is characterised by a number of varieties which are very rare elsewhere.
The Savoyard appellations (labels) are distributed through four departments: Haute-Savoie, Ain, Isère and Savoie. Crépy near Lake Geneva and Seyssel in the Ain are easy to locate. But wines labelled Roussette de Savoie and Vin de Savoie can come from anywhere in the wine growing area, unless the label display the name of a village in addition to the appellation. There are 4 Roussette villages: Frangy, Monthoux, Marestel and Monterminod. And there are no fewer than 17 "Vin de Savoie" villages, the most well known being Apremont, Chignin, Chautagne and Arbin.

They say it's gonna get cloudy and storm And then the weather is fine And they say it's gonna be partly sunny and warm And partly cloudy half of the time And there's all of these rules Based on all these predictions Makes it so hard to define Where do you draw the line? Seems like fifty percent's about the best you can do Based on latest projections Oh, 'cause there's all these laws -- all these rules But then again there's always exceptions -- To the rules Amidst all this confusion Where do you draw the line Half of the time you are right You are wrong -- half of the time You are off -- you are on Half of the time you are here right now Half of the time you are gone -- Half of the time Cause it never ends It all depends on Where you draw the line When half of the time you are right You are wrong -- half of the time You are weak -- you are strong Half of the time you're alone Half of the time you belong Half of the time you are here right now Half of the time you are gone --
