- Wonderful aromatic complexity is highlighted by fresh fruit notes of peach and lime with a delicate honeysuckle character. The light, lemony palate has distinctive minerality and a lovely refreshing finish.
The grapes were gently pressed at a low pressure to retain the quality, and the must was cold and settled overnight. The juice was fed by gravity into stainless steel tanks to retain the varietal characteristics and nuances of the Savoie terroir. Temperatures were carefully maintained at 16°C during fermentation, which took place with selected yeasts. The wine did not undergo malolactic conversion to preserve the fruit aromas and mineral characteristics. Vinified with a minimal intervention approach, the use of sulphites was judicious. The wine was aged in stainless steel tanks on its fine
lees for eight months.

Winery | The Domaine de Vendange estate extends over 10 hectares and is planted on south-facing slopes where the local Savoie grape varieties fully express their typicity. The 25-year-old Jacquere vines yield 65 hectolitres per hectare. The soils are formed of glacial moraine; they are very young limestone soils made up of limestone scree, with silty clay layers that produce elegant, fresh wines. The vines are planted at 400 metres elevation, yet despite the altitude and mountainous location, the summers are surprisingly hot. This distinctive microclimate encourages the grapes to reach optimum maturity with concentrated juice, balanced by mountain-cool freshness. The vines are cultivated using integrated agriculture practices, maintaining the greatest respect for terroir and tradition. The focus is on green harvesting, which includes pruning, de-budding, trellising, and leaf stripping. All grapes are hand-harvested. In 2021, the domain moved into conversion to organic status. |
