In 2004, the now legendary Jean-Yves Peron acquired micro plots of old vines on the mountain slopes of Chevaline in the French Alps. The mountain energy of the indigenous Jacquere grape was about to be revealed!

Sourced from limestone and clay rich plots at elevation, this 100% Jacquere goes through a 15 day maceration with the skins to showcase that a little skin contact can add depth without overwhelming the grape’s inherent qualities. After maceration the wine is aged for a year in a mix of barrels and large foudres. 

This is a skin contact wine that will change your thinking about this process -- crisp and crunchy, fresh and fruity, herbaceous aromatics and a zip of bright acidity reflecting all that is appealing in an alpine wine!
