Jacquère
A white grape native to Savoie, associated with pale, light and lively wines. Its catalogue account recommends relatively early consumption rather than assuming every example is built for long ageing.
Origins and the vine
The sheet suggests Gouais blanc ancestry on the basis of genetic analyses. It describes moderate vigour, regular productivity and short-pruning suitability. Clay-limestone ground and rocky scree are identified as appropriate site types.
From grape to wine
Jacquère’s wine description combines freshness, acidity and a slight floral character, sometimes with a lightly sparkling impression. That impression is not automatically a legal sparkling-wine classification. No particular flower is added to the aroma description where the source supplies only a general floral note.
