Domaine Giachino - Apremont 2022
Domaine Giachino manages its vineyards and produces wines from organic farming. Wine producers for over 20 years, the vineyards are based in the Chartreuse regional park in the Savoie department. In 1988, Frédéric took over the 1.5 hectares of vines maintained by his grandfather Marius Genton. Since then, the area has been entirely dedicated to the production of grapes. The estate includes several small organic vineyards on the slopes of Mont Granier, encompassing the communes of Chapareillan, Les Marches and Aprement. The complete conversion to organic farming in 2006 is the culmination of a long process.
There Apremont cuvée is made from Jaquere from shores of Lake Saint André , on hillsides exposed to the East and South-East. After the collapse of Mont Granier in 1248, limestone rocks covered the ground which was previously made up of glacial moraines and marls. The wine is aged on lees until bottling .
Grape variety: 100% Jacquère
