£68.00
Limited Availability

Producer: Jean-Yves Peron
Region: Haute-Savoie, France
Grapes: Altesse
Style: Orange
Alc.: 12%
Size: 75cl bottle
Notes: A lighter wine than previous years – only altesse from Albertville went into the making of Grande Journée this vintage. Whole bunches macerate for 2 months with regular pigeage, then aged for a year in barrels. This is distinctly saline and mineral, with herby and resinous aromatics and a firm tannic grip.
