Crisp yet round, racy with smooth fruit and firm but tempered florals.

Lean and clean but still soft. Mouth watering acidity and crisp citrus with a fine mineral backbone.

Sep 10th, 2018Quite nice really but immediately makes me feel like it's just a grape (jacquère)that can't quite get there. Some lively green freshness and texture and edge then some dumber fleshy bits that steer it off course midpalate reminds me of chasselas then finishes nice enough but missing something extra. This isn't Mondeuse, delectable.

Andre & Michel Quenard. Old vine Jacquere. Delicious, mineral, and fresh. And so much more.

Feb 8th, 2014Medium straw in the glass with a very distinctive green tinge. Ocean spray aromas greet you initially but the fruit soon takes over. Green apples, quince, and honeysuckle. Butterscotch and lime zest. Terribly pretty.
Pure Jacquère from 70 year old vines in Savoie. Pleasing minerality with soft acidity. Exceedingly fresh, this is a lively and energetic wine. Displays enough depth and focus to keep you interested throughout. Honey, nuts, and dried herbs join those citrus notes from the nose on the palate. Pour a glass, sit it down and forget about it for a while. Let it warm up in the glass and you’ll be rewarded.

Energetic and dry; direct and fresh. Buggy and metallic minerals. Good to smash and not pontificate about.
