Flagship white from the terraced mica‑schist slopes of Cévins, fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged a year in older barrels; a taut, saline Savoie blend of Jacquère, Roussanne, Pinot Gris and Mondeuse Blanche.
This is the Domaine’s top white cuvée from a great terroir – a south-facing terraced vineyard on a vertiginous slope where the soil is derived from metamorphic mica-schist. Indigenous yeasts are used in the fermentation, which takes place in barrels which have already seen three to five wines. It has a nose that reminds me of comforting rice pudding and a concentrated palate of apricot, pear, toasted nuts, and orange blossom complemented by taut acidity. Special bottle that proves Savoie is very capable of producing TOP TOP quality wines.
