About this WINE
Domaine Jean-Francois Quenard
The Quenards are one of the leading wine-making families of the Savoie. Jean-Francois can date the domaine which now bears his name back to 1644. He joined his father in 1987 and has since developed the estate to 18 hectares, notably in white wines from the cru of Chignin. Each vineyard site is bottled separately, and the domaine is currently undergoing organic certification.
The white Vin de Savoie Chignin is made predominantly from the Jacquere grape variety, with its mouthwatering-fresh "alpine-clean"flavour profile.
Other Varieties
There are over 200 different grape varieties used in modern wine making (from a total of over 1000). Most lesser known blends and varieties are traditional to specific parts of the world.

Description
The Jacquère grape, native of Savoie in France, offers delicious fresh floral wines of modest alcoholic degree. The 2014 enjoys the richer texture which comes from older vines, yet retains a floral character, delicious light plum and greengage fruit, with a steely mineral thread. This displays both precision and balance. Drink now to 2016. A perfect alternative to Chenin Blanc or Chablis.
