Current condition

Fresh acidity and lively fruit, drinking well now

This Jacquère from Savoie performs best young owing to its high acidity and light body. The 2022 vintage shows good fruit concentration and structure, supporting a drinking window centered around the mid-2020s. Extended cellaring beyond 5 years risks losing freshness and varietal character.

Food pairing

Pairs excellently with fresh seafood, shellfish, light chicken dishes, and alpine cheese fondue
