Description
Produced from a 30 year old vineyard. The resulting wine has notes of mixed red and black fruit and a spine of minerality, this Gamay is succulent, and very aromatic.
''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
The Savoie is a picture of fairy-tale perfection: snow-capped peaks, rolling hills, and sparkling mountain streams. This idyllic region is where Michel Quenard farms twenty-two hectares of vineyards along the steep slopes around Chignin. The domaine was started in the 1930s by Michel's grandfather. Though he slowly increased his vineyard holdings, he mostly sold off his wine. It wasn’t until 1960 that Michel’s father, André, began bottling under their own label. Michel joined the domaine in 1976. Today, he is joined by his sons, Guillaume and Romain.
