Terroir de Saint-Alban 2020
£27.00
A Wine That
perfectly brings Savoie's native grape varieties Jacquère and Altesse together. Thanks to the Jacquère, the wine bursts of energy, while the Altesse brings a lovely texture and intriguing complexity. Think fresh hay and wet stones on the nose followed by a razor sharp acidity on the palate. Simply put: It's amazing terroir in the glass.

Where and How?
This is a blend of Jacquère (50%) and Altesse (50%) from the Saint-Alban Leysse terroir at the foot of the Bauges massif. Fermentation and ageing took place in a combination of vats (66%) and barrels (33%), and the wine was bottles unfiltered and without added sulphur.
