The Savoie region must be one of the most beautiful wine regions in France, and sadly often overlooked. Where else will you find snow capped mountains, rolling hills, wild streams and plentiful wildflowers surrounding your vineyards?
Andre & Michel Quenard farm 22 hectares of very steep, terraced vineyards around Chignin.…
Floral and citrus fruit notes and aromas, developing into a particularly floral palate.
Made from 100% Jacquère; a clean and fresh white grape variety grown in Savoie, France. The stoniness of the vineyards expresses an alpine freshness and lively minerality in the wines.
André and son Michel have been recognised for many years as pioneers of the Vin de Savoie appellation and sustainable farming technics as well as limited yields showcases wines of extreme purity.
Best enjoyed young or can be aged for up to 3 years.
Pairs well with asparagus or pan-seared scallops. Can also be enjoyed delightfully amongst friends as an aperitif.
Quenard's very rare white, made from local grape Jacquère, is one of the most sought-after wines, from the most sought-after producer, of France's stunningly beautiful Savoie region.
"From a high-terraced slope above the Isère valley, Roussanne grown here gives a consistently fine, rich and complex wine. Honeyed and stony on the nose, it tastes unctuous, yet with balancing acidity and hints of apricot and saline character towards the finish. A lovely wine, which will develop more complexity with age." Wink Lorch, decanter.com, 94 pts
A wonderful, powerful and complete example of a Rousanne. This wine is a perfect accompaniment at every stage of a meal, from starter through to dessert. A great value wine to add to the collection!
