Apremont

Apremont is a prominent cru within the Savoie wine region of eastern France, situated in the Alpine foothills near Chambéry. The vineyards are planted on limestone-rich soils with a cool mountain climate, dramatically affected by the catastrophic 1248 landslide of Mont Granier which created the distinctive terroir. Apremont primarily produces crisp, mineral-driven white wines from the indigenous Jacquère grape variety, known for their light body, subtle floral aromas, and refreshing acidity that perfectly complement local Alpine cuisine.

White

From the dramatic Alpine region of Savoie comes this crystalline white that's as refreshing as a face full of mountain air. The Perrier family (no relation to the water folks) has been making wines in these mountains since 1853, so they've had plenty of time to figure out what works. Aprement is made from the local Jacquère grape, grown on steep slopes where vineyard workers develop calves of steel. The wine captures that high-altitude purity with its lean, mineral-driven character – like licking a really delicious glacier, but less cold and more socially acceptable. It's the perfect match for Alpine cheeses, which is convenient since that's what the locals have been pairing it with for generations.
