Discover the grape variety: Jacquère
Lively and thirst-quenching whites with a pale colour, a lean palate and brisk acidity, on delicate aromas of white flowers (hawthorn), citrus, green apple, fresh almond and characteristic alpine mineral notes of flint. Light finish, best drunk young. The absolute star of Vin de Savoie AOC crus (Apremont, Abymes, Chignin, Cruet) on the limestone scree of Mont Granier. Native Savoyard variety, the most planted in the French alpine vineyards.
