Jacquere is usually treated as an everyday Alpine workhorse, which makes it startling to find parcels here with vines more than a century old. Denis and Didier Berthollier farm their home slopes above Chignin on two distinct soils - limestone scree fallen from the cliffs above, and older glacial moraine - and plow the narrowest, most fragile rows by horse because nothing else fits. The farming is certified organic and biodynamic, the harvest is by hand in mid-September, fermentation runs on native yeasts in tank, and the wine is bottled with barely any sulfur. The result is light and mineral rather than showy, following a straight line to a precise finish. Drink it cold, drink it young, drink it often.

More about Denis et Didier Berthollier

Berthollier is a top producer with 50-year-old vines growing on varied, stony, mountain sites. The Berthollier brothers manage their vines with a minimum of inputs (no insecticides, fungicides, or weedkillers), growing grass between the rows and their winemaking focuses on allowing the terroir to speak. They use only indigenous yeasts (and minimal sulfur), and rack and bottle following the lunar cycle to keep the wine clear without any manipulations. They even vinify fruit from the different soil types separately.

But despite their great terroir and hard work, the Berthollier’s wine is priced for everyday drinking. It’s one of those wonderful but rare opportunities to get a wine at an everyday price that you can open without considering the cost, but that you can take the time to think about if you're in the mood for something more contemplative.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Fondue, raclette and tartiflette; also lake fish, oysters, steamed mussels, and asparagus with butter.

Tasting Profile

Lemon, green apple, white flowers and a honeyed edge over crushed stone. Light-bodied and dry, with brisk acidity and a clean, mineral, faintly saline finish.
