Domaine Dupraz - Apremont "Terres Blanches" - AOC Savoie 2022
This Terres Blanches has a big structure and volume for a vibrant, refreshing finale.
Domaine Dupraz sits in the lieu-dit of Reposoir à Apremont, benefitting from an atypical terroir. First established in 1880, the current custodian, Marc Dupraz, along with his sons, Jérémy and Maxime, have been working to reinstate elements of their family history. By reclaiming their family's former cellars and vineyards in 2014, which had been part of the local co-op from 1957 to 2003, today, Domaine Dupraz hosts 18.5 ha of vineyards on the same slopes where the domaine began. This cuvee is a nod to Michel Dupraz, the grandfather who planted this plot of vines.
Fresh pear flavours, spicy quince, big structure and volume for a vibrant, refreshing finale. You get lovely freshness of fruit and a clean, bitter end, but without the wine ever being too hot, too opulent or too overweight. It has lots of sappy, aromatic green fruit and a floral touch on the nose, the palate echoing those notes with ample lift from the ringing, bell-clear acidity. 100% Jacquère.
