Domaine Giachino Apremont 2020

Domaine Giachino manages its vineyards and produces wines from organic farming. Wine producers for more than 20 years, the vineyards are based in the Chartreuse regional park in the Savoie department. In 1988, Frédéric took over the 1.5 hectares of vines tended by his grandfather Marius Genton. Since then, the area has been entirely dedicated to the production of grapes. The estate includes several small vineyards from organic farming on the slopes of Mont Granier, encompassing the municipalities of Chapareillan, Les Marches and Aprement. The complete conversion to organic farming in 2006 is the culmination of a long process.

The Apremont cuvée is made from Jacquère from the shores of Lake Saint André, on slopes facing east and south-east. After the collapse of Mont Granier in 1248, limestone rocks covered the ground which had previously been made up of glacial moraines and marls. Aging on lees is complete until bottling. This wine can be enjoyed now but can also be kept between 5 and 10 years in the cellar.
