La Vigne Sauvage L'Insouciance 2019

Alcohol: 11.5%

Grape(s): Chasselas

Localization: Haute-Savoie, France

Tasting Notes: Lifted citrus and wet stone minerality, a little curry-leaf reduction on the nose. Bright and energetic acidity lifts pithy citrus and tart yellow apple, subtle green melon. Generous mountain wine. 

The Domain: David established his Domaine, La Vigne Sauvage, high in the Alps of the Savoie in 2018. His vines are in two appellations, Marignan and Marin, both of limestone and clay soils. Here he crafts wines of brilliant purity and minerality. David manages his vines using biodynamics, Marignan is certified, Marin in conversion. All the work in the vineyards is by hand and the same goes in the cellar, with no fining, filtering and void of any additions.
