Andre et Michel Quenard Chignin 2023 750ml
DescriptionThe Quenard family stands at the forefront of Savoie's quality revolution, crafting wines that showcase the Alpine region's unique character. This 2023 captures the essence of mountain freshness, where indigenous varieties and high-altitude viticulture create wines of distinctive personality.
The wine opens with bright, crystalline aromas of green apple and white flowers, immediately signaling its Alpine origins. As it develops, notes of wet stone, fresh herbs, and a hint of citrus emerge, creating the mineral complexity that defines great Savoie wine. The high altitude and limestone soils contribute a distinctive freshness and energy. On the palate, racing acidity frames delicate fruit flavors, while pronounced minerality provides backbone and exceptional length. The texture remains light yet satisfying, perfect for the wine's role as a refreshing aperitif.
This 2023 demonstrates why Savoie deserves greater recognition among France's white wine regions. The Quenards' meticulous approach results in wines that offer both typicity and quality, providing unique alternatives to more common varieties. Whether enjoyed with Alpine cheese or fresh shellfish, this bottle delivers authentic regional character that transports you to the mountains with every sip.
