Mary Taylor Chignin, Savoie 2023
High in the French Alps, Benjamin Ravier farms Jacquère on steep limestone slopes where the air is clean, the seasons are brutal, and the wines taste exactly like where they come from. Chignin is one of those appellations that wine professionals order quietly at restaurants while everyone else is looking at the Burgundy list. Crisp, stony, and light on its feet with notes of white peach, lemon zest, and alpine minerals. Drink it cold with anything from the sea or a simple plate of cheese.
