Jacquère is a variety of white grape found primarily in the Savoy wine region of France.It is a high-yielding vine variety which is used to produce lightly scented, refreshing and gently aromatic dry white wine, such as Vin de Savoie. Jacquère is the grape used in Apremont wines and is the usual wine paired with cheese fondue (a dish from the same region).
It is also found in Bugey wines. Jacquère has been grown in some Condrieu vineyards, but it is officially not allowed to be used in Condrieu AOC wine. DNA testing has shown its origins to be Gouais blanc and another unknown. Jacquère is thought to be of French origin.
