Drink or Keep
On the limestone scree of Mont Granier, "les Abymes" refers to the catastrophe that buried the village in 1248. Que nénies! A classified Savoy Cru since 1973, Micraster here reveals all the personality and potential of Jacquère: a nose of flint and floral aromas, a precise, mineral palate of white flowers, citrus and white-fleshed fruit. A chiselled wine with a lovely bitter finish, it's good and it leaves you wanting more! Limited quantities available.

Terroirs
Vines over 50 years old on clay-limestone soil resulting from the landslide of Mont Granier in Chartreuse in 1248. South-facing slopes of the Lac St André reservoir moraine, commune of Les Marches. Chaotic terroir, composed of hillsides where vines grow (Les Mollards), and talwegs where wetlands and ponds have formed. The area is also characterized by large boulders, always the result of landslides, which can be the size of a house, and is the birthplace of the Jacquère grape variety.

Lacks acidity, a little too polished for a Jacquère.
