Domaine Jean Perrier et Fils, Crémant De Savoie
Producer Profile
Vinegrowers since 1853, the Perrier family is linked to the history of Savoie and the French Alps, producing around 135,000 hectolitres in the departments of Savoie, Haute-Savoie, Isère and Ain. Granted an AOC in 1973, the vineyards have expanded over the years to approximately 69 hectares planted with varieties such as Jacquère, Abymes, Apremont and Chignin for White wines and Gamay, Chautagne, Jongieux, Mondeuse and Arbin. A fruit driven Méthode Traditionelle Crémant de Savoie with plenty of personality is also produced. All of the wines express the thinking of the grower, they are rough and wild at first, but open up with a warm and beautiful heart and personality, winning awards from the Concours des vins de France and Wine Spectator along the way.
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
A méthode traditionelle Cremant produced from Jacquère and a little Chardonnay. 8 or 10 grammes of "liqueur de dosage" are added to give the wine a softer rounder finish and a little more body.
Tasting Note
A very fruity sparkling wine with a strong personality.
Food Matching
As with most sparklers, this is a delicious aperitif and also ideal with dessert.
