2024 Famille Richel Apremont "La Combelle", Savoie, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
âLa Combelleâ is 100% JacquĂšre, a native varietal emblematic of Savoieâs Apremont appellation, grown on steep, south-facing limestone scree at the foot of Mont Granier. The 2024 vintage benefited from a cool spring and a dry, sunny summer, yielding a wine of taut precision and vibrant freshness. Hand-harvested and vinified in stainless steel to preserve varietal integrity, this bottling is a vivid snapshot of its alpine origin. The nose is delicate yet expressiveâwhite flowers, orchard fruit, and crushed stoneâwhile the palate offers a sleek, bone-dry profile with a mouthwatering saline edge.
Minimal intervention guides the cellar work: native yeast fermentation, no oak, and light filtration. Ideal alongside freshwater fish, raclette, or a simple goat cheese salad, itâs a natural pairing for mountain cuisine and coastal fare alike.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Famille Richel is a small, family-run domaine rooted in the heart of Savoie, where generations have cultivated vines beneath the shadow of the French Alps. Committed to sustainable mountain viticulture, they focus on low-intervention farming and traditional techniques that honor the distinct geology and microclimates of their land. The Richel family works predominantly with indigenous varieties, with JacquĂšre at the core, seeking purity, expression, and a sense of place in each bottle. âLa Combelleâ reflects their dedication to terroir transparency and to preserving the alpine identity of Apremont wines.
