Tour de France case is in the Alps for our finale
Domaine Jean Perrier et Fils, Crémant De Savoie, Savoie, France
With a heritage back to 1853, Jean Perrier has the weatlh of 7 generations of experience. Vines for the whites are mostly planted on clay- limestone and the reds on granite and clay- limestone on a south eastern exposure near the city of Chambéry in the department of Savoie.
Made from 85% Jacquère and 15% Chardonnay by seventh-generation winemakers, this lovely fizz has a strong personality. Has a light nose with white peach, apricot and ripe pear/pear drop aromas, then a really nice depth of flavour; still light overall but the fine bubbles coat the mouth with a lovely mix of fruit and floral flavour. A great summer aperitif that is a great alternative to Champagne.
