Regular price $25.00
Unit price per
100% Jacquère
Apremont is a small Alpine village in the Savoie that sits at the foot of Mont Granier. These extremely high-altitude vineyards are east facing and chalk-full of limestone. Winemaker Benjamin Ravier works the vines according to HVE 3 standards of sustainability, committing to practices that allow for unadulterated expressions of the Apremont terroir.
The Jacquère grapes are hand harvested, pressed very gently, and fermented without maceration in stainless steel. In addition, indigenous yeasts are selected from the vineyards and the wine does not experience secondary malolactic fermentation. Three months of lees contact lend a pleasant textural quality of the wine, as well as a roundness that balances its liveliness and minerality.
This wine opens with soft notes of white flowers, pure autumn apple and peach, with a slightly weighty mid pallet, and a finish that bursts with lime and acidity. Elegant, approachable, and refreshing.
