Tasting Notes

90% Jacquère, 10% Verdesse & Mondeuse Blanche

This white wine from the Savoie is a stunning, serious expression of Jacquere. And, while we love the crisp, floral, easy-to-drink white wines made from the same area and varietal, this wine is in a class of its own. One would be forgiven for mistaking this for Bergeron (the local strain of Roussanne), with its intense, concentrated fruit that centers around apricot and peach flavors with herbal and apple blossom highlights, a hint of mandarin zest and baking spice, and an alpine steely core that perfectly balances every component in this dynamic wine.

Pairing Block

Food Pairing

Jacquere pairs best with lighter dishes that emphasize freshness, gentle richness, and savory detail rather than weight. Seafood is an especially natural match, from mussels simmered in white wine with garlic or subtle spice, to clams and sausage in a simple broth with grilled bread. White fish preparations with umami depth, such as miso-glazed cod, work well, as do salmon dishes prepared simply, whether roasted with dill, served chilled with cucumber, or folded into rillettes-style spreads. Vegetable-driven dishes also shine alongside this wine, particularly those built around herbs, fennel, greens, or softly cooked roots, where the wine’s acidity and alpine, herbal notes keep the pairing focused and clean.

About the Producer

Founded in 1988 and based in the Chartreuse foothills of the Savoie region, Domaine Giachino is a family estate now run by brothers Frédéric and David Giachino. The domaine farms roughly 15 hectares of organically certified vineyards planted to local varieties such as Jacquère, Altesse, Mondeuse, and Persan on limestone and clay slopes at high altitude. Vineyard work is fully manual with an emphasis on low yields and soil health, and fermentations rely on native yeasts with minimal intervention in the cellar. The estate is known for producing clean, precise wines that reflect the freshness and alpine character of Savoie’s terroirs.
