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 white peach and yellow plum and green apple, yellow roses, wintergreen, with lightly salty mineral panache. The palate has great acidity and clean, bright lemon and apple fruit before a snappy finish. Perfect for light summer dishes and freshwater fish.
