DESCRIPTION
Situated at the foot of Mont Granier, Domaine des Granges Longues is a family property managed by the Cochet family for several generations. Committed to an environmentally respectful approach (organic conversion started in 2021), the estate draws the best from the Apremont terroir, made up of calcareous scree that imparts its singular minerality to the wine.
The Maltaverne cuvée is sourced from a manual harvest and careful vinification in small volumes. The work in the cellar aims to bring richness and texture to the Jacquère, a traditionally lively grape variety. The result is a wine that conserves its natural perlant (slight spritz) while offering a fuller and more complex substance.
On the palate, this 2022 surprises with its beautiful amplitude and richness, finding a perfect balance with the minerality. The finish stretches out on notes of citrus and a refreshing acidity. It is a wine of Savoie gastronomy, built for a raw milk raclette, a Crozets risotto with Beaufort cheese, or a shrimp curry.
REGION
Savoie
France
Savoie is a mountainous French wine region near the Swiss border. The region is highly fragmented by its mountain terrain. The cool climate of Savoie explains why lively white wines dominate production. Although reds struggle to ripen in this kind of climate, Savoie is the home of Mondeuse, a red grape used to make wines with a marked bitterness.
Recommended for you:
An Apremont that has body! It's not acidic at all; on the contrary, it is quite round with a superb lemony finish.
