Vinification of Savoie Obstinee by Grisard Philippe The well-balanced Savoie Obstinee from France is a varietal wine, vinified from the Mondeuse noir grape variety. In Savoy, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on gravel soils. After the harvest, the grapes are immediately brought to the press house. There they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation then follows in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, Savoie Obstinee can further harmonize on the fine lees for several months.
