Origin
The Abymes Tête Cuvée is produced in the Savoie wine region, located in the French Alps. This region is known for its crisp and aromatic white wines, benefiting from alpine terroir and cool climate conditions.
Variety
This cuvée is primarily made from the Jacquère grape variety, which is indigenous to the Savoie region and prized for its light, fresh character and delicate aromatics.
Production
The wine is crafted by Marc Portaz, a respected producer in Savoie, using traditional vinification methods. Grapes are hand-harvested and gently pressed to preserve freshness. Fermentation occurs at controlled temperatures to enhance aromatic expression, followed by aging on fine lees to add texture and complexity.
