Background
The prestigious Guide Hachette has lauded this Jacquere wine from Chrystele and Philippe as the 'reference' for a wine made of this grape. Their estate is located near the Savoie region. They use no chemical products and are environmentally friendly in their vineyard management. Their Jacquere wine represents incredibly high quality at an entry-level price point.
Tasting Notes
This wine is lively with acacia and lemon flavors. These are complemented nicely by a touch of minerality. The wine is super as an aperitif, but will pair nicely with lighter white-wine foods. This Jacquere is a wonderful and low priced alternative for people who like to drink Sauvignon Blanc wines (and even Pinot Grigio wines).
