Domaine de l’Idylle Vin de Savoie Cruet 2024
Domaine de l’Idylle Vin de Savoie Cruet 2024
Cruet is one of Savoie’s several workaday winemaking villages, and home to the Domaine de l’Idylle, one of L&E’s favorite sources of crisp, satisfying wines from indigenous Savoie varieties, most prominent among them the breezy Jacquerre grape. The Tiollier family has made these wines for six generations, in vineyards looking up at snow-capped alps and bright blue skies. Since 2020 they’ve done their work organically, but the character of the Cruet remains as it has always been, fermented and aged in stainless steel, a crisp, light, frank wine that gives aromas of green apple, lemon zest, mountain herbs and blossoms. The palate is light and brisk, with notes of apple (again) and pear, with a core of slate minerality and floral essences that linger on the finish. Serve this as an appetizer, with river trout or shellfish, or go local and dial up a Savoyard raclette.
