Romain Chamiot's Apremont is 100% Jacquère from the Vin de Savoie Apremont AOC, grown across 30 parcels spread over 7 hectares beneath Mont Granier. The vineyards sit at elevations between 290 and 500 meters in the communes of Apremont, Saint-Baldoph, and Les Marches, on clay-marl soils blanketed by limestone rubble deposited by the catastrophic 1248 Mont Granier landslide. Most parcels are farmed by hand due to slope steepness. Vines average 40 to 50 years old, with select parcels reaching 80 years.
Fermentation and elevage take place entirely in a mix of stainless steel and enamel cuve with no oak contact. The wine spends time on its lees, which adds a modest textural weight without sacrificing Jacquère's defining freshness. Sulfur additions are kept very low, a practice made easier by the dry mountain climate that keeps disease pressure minimal.
On the nose, the wine shows lemon zest, white pear, apricot, and flint-like minerality. The palate is light to medium bodied with bright, nervy acidity, a touch of residual sugar that rounds the mid-palate, and a citrus-driven finish with a faint saline quality. This is a wine built for immediate drinking.
