This white from Jongieux in Savoy is made entirely from the native Jacquère grape. The vineyards sit on south-west facing slopes with decomposed limestone soils, and the vines average 25 years old. Grapes are hand-harvested late, at just 10 to 11 degrees of potential alcohol. They are pressed in a pneumatic press and fermented in stainless steel at low temperatures. Malolactic fermentation is blocked, and a small amount of natural CO2 stays in the wine for freshness. It is bottled in January after settling in the cold Alpine air. Expect citrus, white flowers and minerals with an elegant length. Hugh Johnson described Jacquère as "bottled mountain air."
Domaine François Carrel & Fils makes about 1,000 cases of this wine each year.
