Domaine Jean Perrier & Fils have been growing vines since 1853 through seven generations. Today they have 59 hectares under vine across eight towns.

This is a pure mountain wine! Planted on calcium rich soils in small south facing plots in Chignin, Francin and Montmélian, the grapes are manually harvested.  Vinified at 20 °C over a period of three weeks with native yeasts. When alcoholic fermentation ends, malolactic fermentation begins, creating a round wine and long finish on the palate and decent ageing potential. Delicious!
