Vineyard
Wines of the AOP Apremont are produced exclusively from the local grape called Jacquère, the most widely planted variety in the Savoie. The Domaine des 13 Lunes Apremont vineyards are at the highest elevations of the appellation and are very close to the Savoie border with Isère.
Vinification
Sylvain harvests by hand and ferments in stainless steel vats with indigenous yeasts. The wine is bottled the following spring after a light fining and filtering with a total SO2 that is under 30mg/L. The wine is typically 10.5 alc. by vol. making it a “vin de soif” but one with authentic alpine character.

Tasting Note
The Domaine des 13 Lunes Apremont shows aromas of green apples, pears, and freshly cut grass. The palate displays clean minerality and citrus notes. Very refreshing. Enjoy with scallops, arctic char, cheese fondu, or a pear custard tart.
