Andre & Michel Quenard Jacquère ‘Les Cristallins’ Chignin Savoie 2024 from the steep, rocky slopes around Chignin in the French Alps is a pure, mouth‑watering alpine white that’s all river‑stone crunch, citrus lift and effortless refreshment. This 2024 Les Cristallins Jacquère captures that classic Savoie style – light, bright and mineral, built for drinking young and chilled rather than cellaring for decades.

In the glass you’re looking at a pale, shiny straw colour with delicate aromas of citrus blossom, green apple, pear and white flowers, backed by wet stone and a whisper of alpine herbs. The palate is crisp and tensile with high‑country acidity, chalky minerality and a clean, textural line that feels like drinking straight from a mountain stream, finishing dry, zesty and seriously moreish. Think river rock, tinkling alpine streams, citrus twist and lip‑smacking freshness in every sip.

Food‑wise, Andre & Michel Quenard Jacquère Les Cristallins Chignin Savoie 2024 is made for oysters, shellfish, grilled white fish, river trout, fondue/raclette and simple goat’s cheese or alpine cheeses, especially served nicely chilled. It’s also brilliant with light salads, crudités, sushi and aperitif hour, giving you a beautifully clean, low‑alcohol mountain white that’s perfect for long lunches and warm‑weather drinking.
