Argile Blanc 2022, Vin des Allobroges, Domaine des Ardoisieres

🏔️ Alpine finesse with tension: Argile Blanc 2022 – Domaine des Ardoisières

Vin des Allobroges | Savoie

Savoie at its best. Argile Blanc 2022 from Domaine des Ardoisières instantly transports you to the mountains: steep slopes, cool nights and crisp mornings at 450 metres altitude. Old vines of Chardonnay and Mondeuse Blanche, complemented by Jacquère from Apremont, result in a wine that is both generous and razor-sharp. Pure alpine energy, captured in glass.

🍋 Tasting note

Fresh as a mountain stream, yet layered and composed.

On the nose, ripe citrus peel, white blossom and wet stone. The palate shows a beautiful tension between ripe fruit and saline minerality, with a subtle smoky note that perfectly balances the freshness. The acidity is silky and precise, shaped by warm days and cold nights. The finish is long, mineral and refined.
