2024 Jean Perrier et Fils, Vin de Savoie, Apremont, Cuvee Gastronomie

The Perrier family has been farming the steep limestone and clay scree slopes beneath Mont Granier for over 150 years — long enough to understand what Apremont asks of Jacquère and what Jacquère gives back. This is mountain wine in the most literal sense: high altitude, cold air off the Alps, and soils that push acidity and mineral tension to the foreground. The Cuvée Gastronomie is lean and precise, with a taut mid-palate and a limestone-driven salinity that lingers. The quintessential chalet wine — the kind of bottle that makes a fondue feel incomplete without it.
