Côtillon des Dames Réserve is an organic, biodynamic and natural dry white wine made in Savoie by Jean-Yves Péron from Jacquère, Altesse and Roussanne grapes. Classified as a Vin de France, it is, as its name suggests, a particularly meticulous reserve cuvée.

Jean-Yves Péron's Côtillon des Dames Réserve is made from Jacquère, Altesse and Roussanne grapes. The plots are located on micaschistose soils in Albertville, on limestone scree in Fréterive and on limestone in Chignin. The grapes are vinified separately and blended about two months before bottling. Maceration in vats with cap punching lasts two months. The idea is to be able to control the evolution of the juice and balance the wine according to the behavior of each grape variety. The wine is aged for three years in 300-milliliter barrels.

Côtillon des Dames Réserve is a complex, elegant, fruity white wine that must be appreciated for its rarity. It has good acidity and good ageing potential. It goes perfectly with smoked fish (salmon or others) and anything that comes from the sea. It also goes well with cheeses, fondues and raclettes.
