Not quite up to the standard of the 2014. There is a hint of mountain air and even gunpowder on the nose, but on the whole this is softer and more apple-like than the previous vintage, lacking a bit in structure and cut. A pleasant and easy drink, but interesting more because of its rarity than because of its actual performance in the glass.

A brilliant wine made from the Jacquere grape. A grape that is accounted for 50% of the vineyards of the Savoie region. The aroma is rich of fruit and a bit sweet, like apricot and pear, also some green apple and lemon. The palate is very diverse with a good balance between sweet and acidic. Mostly fruity with orange, other citrus fruit, peach and lychee. Especially the lychee is very lovely in this wine. Highly appreciated wine! An intense wine with lovely complexity. The grapes are harvested at new moon!
