The opinion of the sommelier
The perfect wine to match cheese-based mountain cuisine. Apremont is widely consumed close to where it’s made as is goes along so well with recipes from the Alps. Indeed, its freshness balances the fat of the cheese and the fruity aromas lighten the powerful flavours of cheese and charcuterie.
Terroir
Apremont is the most famous wine of Savoie. It comes from a very specific terroir as the land vines are planted on first saw daylight as late as 1248 when Mount Granier collapsed. Therefore, the roots plunge in what used to be long ago a glacier. 
Grape variety
This wine is also an opportunity to discover a relatively rare grape variety: Jacquere. It gives fresh and tonic wines, with delightful tastes of fresh fruits and flowers. This
seducing wine is a must taste for anyone who is looking forward discovering wines from Savoie.
Vintage
As everywhere in France in 2018, vine’s enemy was mildiou, this disease that feeds on humidity so as to thrive. The first 6 months of 2018 were so rainy that it was at
first one of the most humid vintage Savoie ever had. However, in the mountains, wind
blows hard which helped to dry nature and eventually a lot of the harvest was spared from mildiou. 
A winemaker, a family
After the collapse of Mount Granier, Apremont was deserted for centuries. In the 18th Century, peasant from the region started clearing the place
and decided to plant white vine. From that time, things kept on improving on a relatively small surface as the appellation cannot be enlarged elsewhere than where used to
stand Mount Granier.
