On the limestone scree slopes of Mont Granier, "Les Abymes" refers to the disaster that buried the village in 1248. What a tragedy! A Cru de Savoie classified since 1973, Micraster reveals here all the character and potential of the Jacquère grape: a nose of flint and floral aromas, a precise, mineral palate with notes of white flowers, citrus, and white-fleshed fruits. A finely crafted wine with lovely bitter notes on the finish—it’s delicious, and you’ll be asking for more! Please note: limited quantities available.

Grape varieties

100% Jacquère

Terroirs

Vines over 50 years old on clay-limestone soil formed by the landslide of Mont Granier in the Chartreuse region in 1248. Southern slopes of the moraine that dams Lake St. André, in the municipality of Les Marches. A rugged terroir, consisting of hillsides where vines grow (the Mollards) and valleys where marshes, wetlands, and ponds have formed. The landscape is also characterized by large boulders—still the result of the landslide—that can be as big as a house. The birthplace of the Jacquère grape variety.

Lacks acidity; it's a bit too polished for a Jacquère
