Jacquère
Domaine de la Rosière 2018 Jongieux Blanc
French White
$25.99
Delicate scents of apple blossoms, wet stone and pine honey accompany meadow flowers, lemon zest and assertive orchard apples. The palate is lively, with acidity and freshness. Made entirely from native Jacquère, the wine comes from Jongieux in Savoie. The vines grow on steep clay-limestone slopes in the French Alps, and the profile recalls mountain air and a pure stream.
Domaine de l’Idylle 2017 Vieille Vigne d’Idylle Cruet Jacquère
French White
$32.99
Intense crisp lemon fruit appears with tight acidity and a creamier touch of baked apple. The wine is made entirely from Jacquère grown on clay-limestone soils formed by Alpine scree. Long, low-temperature fermentation is followed by full malolactic fermentation and ageing on fine lees, with about twenty percent in oak. The palate is full and fleshy, while good acidity keeps it fresh, and the finish recalls toasted almond.
Domaine Labbé 2024 Abymes
French White
$33.99
Lemon, green apple and white pear appear in a pale wine with faint green highlights. The profile is dry and lively, with floral fruit, tangy chalky minerals and a stony finish. Jacquère comes from vines more than thirty-five years old on rocky clay-limestone soils. Fermentation uses indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled tanks and foudres. Ageing also takes place in tank.
