2023 Domaine des 13 Lunes Vin de Savoie Apremont, France

The domaine produces 2 varietal Jacquere, one from Abymes and the other from Apremont. Both are made in the same fresh natural style. The vineyards are only a stone’s throw away from each other. Both are vinified exactly the same way, using native yeasts and sur-lie aging for six months in ovoid tanks to promote the perpetual movement of the lees during fermentation. The real difference between the wines is which side of the proverbial tracks the vines are planted. Are you a purist who prefers the better-known Apremont, or more a trendsetter popping open a bottle of Abymes? Either, way you can’t go wrong, as both are superb versions of the refreshing floral Jacqure grape.
