Our Review of the Cuvée
Visually, this wine displays a deep purple color with garnet highlights. On the nose, it captivates with its aromatic complexity, blending fruits such as blackberry and prune, enhanced by subtle spicy notes. On the palate, the attack is supple, revealing flavors of violet and licorice that unfold elegantly and linger on the finish. The finish is characterized by delicate tannins that add a structured and persistent dimension. This harmonious balance pairs perfectly with red meats, game, or aged cheeses.

Domaine Giachino
Savoie | France
Located at the foothills of the Chartreuse massif, Domaine Giachino benefits from a distinct mountainous environment, where altitude and thermal amplitudes impart a natural freshness to the wines. The vineyard has been managed organically for many years, with constant attention paid to the clarity of expression and the balance of ripeness.
Jacquère and Mondeuse constitute the core of the production. Jacquère yields straightforward and vibrant white wines, structured by crisp acidity and an almost saline sensation, directly linked to the alpine context. Mondeuse is crafted in a taut and digestible style, prioritizing fruit freshness and fine tannins over concentration.
Winemaking aims for precision and clarity, with limited interventions and subtle aging. The cuvées are distinguished by their vibrancy and high drinkability, offering a clear and contemporary interpretation of the Savoie terroirs, where freshness remains
