Jean Perrier et Fils Savoie Abymes Gastronomie

100% Jacquère. The Abymes appellation sits lower and the slope than the Apremont and is on generally flatter land. Stainless steel fermentation and aging.

Jean Perrier et Fils is a family estate passed from father to son for seven generationssince 1853. Gilles Perrier has worked alongside his father for many years and his son recentlyjoined the winery. The domaine has slowly expanded over the generations and today they own sixty-two hectares focusing mainly on varieties indigenous tothe Savoie, Jacquere, Altesse, and Mondeuse. The grapes of the Savoie are largely unknown outside the region and many of them cannot be found anywhere else. The altitude creates stunningly fresh and idiosyncratic wines. 

Maintaining quality has always been the priority for the Perrier family and vineyard work is sustainable, certified by HVE. Grapes are hand-harvested and gently vinified in stainless steel tanks. The Perrier wines are appreciated for their complexity and freshness, dry but fruity with a lot of minerality - a pure expression of Savoie.
