Maison des Ardoisieres Vin des Allobroges Blanc Cuvee Silice 2024 NO20230823 the kind of ancient plantings

the kind of ancient plantings that lift this often-overlooked grape into something serious and saline

and the acidity here truly does feel like a current running through the glass

sourced from younger vines and vinified entirely in steel with about a 10-day maceration to keep the fruit fresh and pure

then a lot of citrus and a clearly mineral vein

Maison des Ardoisieres Vin des Allobroges Blanc Cuvee Silice 2024 NO20230823 the kind of ancient plantingsThis is your perfect introduction to high altitude Savoie whites, offering an electric burst of energy driven by the Jacqure grape. The name Silice hints at the flinty, sandy soils that shape this wine, translating directly into a glass filled with green apple, white flowers, and a distinct gunflint minerality. It hits the palate with laser like focus and a clean, snappy finish that makes it a dream pairing for fresh goat cheese or raw oysters.
