2024 Domaine Marc Portaz Apremont Vin de Savoie

Apremont has become one of Savoie’s most recognizable names for a reason, and Domaine Marc Portaz’s 2024 bottling shows the region’s alpine character in its purest form.
Grown at the foot of Mont Granier on limestone rubble left by the mountain’s historic collapse, Jacquère takes on a uniquely airy profile—light, mineral, and buzzing with mountain freshness. The 2024 season was cool and steady, allowing slow ripening and remarkable aromatic clarity.
The domaine harvests early to preserve tension, pressing gently before a cool stainless-steel fermentation that protects every delicate floral and citrus note. No oak, no embellishment—just a clean, precise expression of Savoie’s crystalline terroir.
The wine unfurls with white blossoms, crushed rock, and lemon zest, gliding across a feather-light palate that feels almost weightless. Crisp acidity keeps the profile lifted, while a soft herbal edge gives texture and quiet complexity. It’s the kind of bottle that refreshes immediately and invites another sip without hesitation.

Nose: White flowers, citrus peel, alpine herbs, and a faint chalky note.

Palate: Bright lemon, green apple, and pear carried by vibrant acidity and a gentle herbal thread.

Finish: Clean, brisk, and mineral with a refreshing, stony snap.

Think alpine cuisine and bright, simple flavors—grilled trout with lemon, raclette with potatoes and cornichons, or fresh chèvre drizzled with olive oil. The wine’s crisp acidity, delicate florals, and cool mineral line bring lift and clarity to every light, savory dish.
