While the Savoie has not become a household name for wine lovers, estates like Domaine des Ardoisieres are increasingly making the case that it should be. Silice is 100% Jacquere planted on schist and clay that yields as a plush and mineral white wine that is incredibly light on its feet for an expression that has such intensity of flavor and texture. Expect ripe orchard fruit with just a touch of white peach enlivened by crushed stone and almond flowers. Equally at home with cheese or on its own, this is a compelling bottle of wine that speaks of its alpine origin.

Those alpine grapes. Clean, crystalline & fresh. So much tension & textural detail with a gorgeous & haunting honeyed lemon on the back end. Ridiculously easy to drink & goes down dangerously fast. Savioe wines are amazing.
