Domaine Dupraz, Terres Blanches, Apremont, Savoie, 2016

The hallmark of Jacquère,' says Jérémy Dupraz, 'is its balance. It takes well to later harvesting without ever ramping up its alcohol. You get lovely freshness of fruit and a clean, bitter end, but without the wine ever being too hot, too opulent or too overweight.' This concrete-aged wine is made from fruit grown on limey clay soils with a little scree material, picked on 8th October. It has lots of sappy, aromatic green fruit and a floral touch on the nose, the palate echoing those notes with ample lift from the ringing, bell-clear acidity.
