Made from 100% Jacquère; a clean and fresh white variety grown in Savoie, France. The stoniness of the vineyards expresses an alpine freshness and lively minerality. Highlighted by aromas of florals, citrus notes and a certain minerality.
Hailing from the storybook slopes of Savoie in the French Alps, the Domaine Quenard Les Cristallins Chignin 2024 is crafted entirely from Jacquère, a variety native to the region and still largely undiscovered outside of it. If you're not familiar with Jacquère, it thrives in high-altitude vineyards and rocky limestone soils, producing wines that are intensely mineral, complex and wonderfully refreshing.
''Savoie is a beautiful region where grown on slopes on the French Alps. The wines are not that well known outside of France or even outside of Savoie. Jacquère has a good acidity, freshness and a nose of citrus and acacia.'' Britt Karlsson, Forbes.com
''Savoie is France’s smallest wine region and is known for its zippy white wines, whose light, fresh characters have made them undeniable crowd-pleasers. Jacquère is the star performer in the region’s mountain vineyards.'' Gilbert & Gaillard France Guide
