2023 Claude Quenard et Fils Chignin

Place: Chignin - Savoie, France

Variety: Jacquere

Farming: Organic

Claude Quenard et Fils is a historic family estate based in Chignin, in the heart of Savoie. Originally established as a farm in the early twentieth century, the domaine has evolved into one of the region's longstanding advocates for organic and biodynamic viticulture. Working with indigenous alpine varieties on steep limestone-rich slopes, the family produces wines distinguished by their purity, freshness and precise expression of terroir.

The Chignin is 100% Jacquère from vines up to 60 years old, rooted in marl-limestone soils. White peach and citrus are layered with alpine flowers, fennel, subtle ginger spice and delicate herbal notes. Light yet finely textured, the palate combines vibrant acidity with a pronounced saline mineral character. Taut and precise, the wine finishes long, dry and distinctly savoury.
