Current status

Approaching drinkability; still youthful and fresh

Current condition

Vibrant acidity with fresh fruit notes, best enjoyed within 5-7 years of vintage

The 2020 vintage in Savoie produced clean, aromatic whites with good acidity. Given the grape Jacquère’s natural freshness and the producer’s traditional vinification style, this wine will show best starting about 2 years after vintage and maintain quality for a few years before gradual fading.

Food pairing

Ideal with light seafood, freshwater fish, soft goat cheeses, salads, and delicate poultry dishes.
