DOMAINE JEAN PERRIER ET FILS, France

‘Traditional’ hardly describes the Perrier family, who have lived and worked in the Alps for more than seven generations and seem to be hewn from the very rock that surrounds them.

Their wine style and dedication to local grape varieties such as Jacquère has never wavered and like the region’s mountains remains resolute. All the better for it – these wines are stunningly different and enthralling, with flavours on the palate that you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else. Embodying their terroir and being resistant to change has made these wines special, delightful and truly regional.

Viticulture

Vines for the whites are mostly planted on clay- limestone and the reds on granite and clay- limestone on a south eastern exposure near the city of Chambéry in the department of Savoie.

Winemaking

All of the wines undergo a manual harvest, with gentle pneumatic pressing, and temperature controlled fermentation at around 20 degrees celsius. Most of the wines also complete malolactic fermentation to lower the acidity and avoid a secondary fermentation in the bottle.
