Description
Don Giachino Brut NV is made from 50% Jacquere and 50% Mondeuse which is indigenous to the mountainous Savoie region. This crisp, elegant wine is made in only very small quantities, It is aged on the lees for 30-36 months.
A perfect aperitif: light, crisp with a touch of floral, buttery notes. Also perfect with hard aged cheeses like Comté.
Frédéric Giachino has been producing wine in his domain for more than 20 years, utilising organic techniques for half of that time.
The vines grow on the Chartreuse Hills, along the slopes of Mount Granier. The soil here is a result of an ancient tragedy. In 1248, a huge landslide sent 500 million square metres of rock crashing down onto the surrounding villages, destroying five of them. The soil today, rich in limestone and clay, is made up of that rock. It is quite remarkable that such conditions can lead to such excellent wines.
