“Willy” Savioe Jacquere 2024

   Andy Says: "The higher end version of one of our favorite French Whites, Willy, is 100% Jacquere, a crisp, citrusy, minerally white grown in the French Alps, right on the Swiss border. This version sees an extended time on the lees, the yeasty particulates that drop out during fermentation, which gives Willy a creamier, weightier expression 
than our other popular Jacquere. Picked by hand from a single parcel,
it shows flavors of citrus, almond, cream, white rocks and a little bit of Alpine Flowers. The classic pairing is with Raclette or Fondue,
but Willy works anywhere a crisp, Dry White is needed."
 

   Importer Rise Over Run Says: "Willy Blanc is a true bon vivant. Ever congenial and hospitable, he is the proprietor of one of the best wine shops in Savoie, which he uses as a forum to advocate for the region’s top growers. He also tends 5 hectares of vines in the Savoie cru of Aprémont, situated below the impressive north face of Mont Granier. Here he works by hand to carefully cultivate the region’s traditional grape varieties, with a special focus on the white grape Jacquére."
