2018 Savoie “Les Abymes”

A. & M. Quenard
Discount Eligible $18.00
SOLD OUT

In the year 1248, an entire mountainside collapsed on the western end of the French Alps, burying multiple villages and all their inhabitants in the rubble. That pile of limestone now makes up the Savoie cru Les Abymes, a vineyard responsible for an outrageously thirst-quenching expression of the Jacquère grape. Expect a prickle of carbon dioxide, naturally left over from the fermentation process, to tickle the tongue, while an intensely cool, stony sensation on the palate mimics Alpine meltwater rushing down a steep waterfall. Now that’s what I call a landslide victory!
