2024 Domaine des Ardoisieres, Silice, Vin des Allobroges IGP

While the Savoie has not become a household name for wine lovers, estates like Domaine des Ardoisieres are increasingly making the case that it should be. Silice is 100% Jacquere planted on schist and clay that yields a lifted and mineral white wine that is incredibly light on its feet for an expression that has such intensity of flavor and texture. Expect especially zesty lemon confit with just a touch of white peach enlivened by crushed stone and almond flowers. Equally at home with cheese or on its own, this is a compelling bottle of wine that speaks of its alpine origin.
