Savoie, France
With their low alcohol content, sensible price tags, and high refreshment quotients, the Savoie’s Jacquère-based wines are tops among our personal go-to wines for everyday enjoyment. Within the greater Savoie AOC, Cruet is a small, highly-regarded commune revered for its brilliant expressions of the Jacquère grape. Sporting a pale green-gold robe, l’Idylle’s Cruet explodes with brisk green apple, Bartlett pear, and lemon-lime fruit accented by honeysuckle, jasmine, chervil, and wet stones. Bright and lively on the palate, notes of grapefruit zest, pear skin, lovage, and saline minerals accent the Cruet’s transparent core of crunchy orchard and citrus fruit. The wine finishes clean, bracing, energetic, and utterly delicious. Few wines offer this much distinctiveness, satisfaction, and deliciousness at such a paltry price tag. You’ll want to serve it year ‘round as a crowd-pleasing apéritif or, better yet, as a lovely partner to shellfish, crustaceans, sashimi, and white-fleshed fish. It will also be a terrific choice for pairing with scalloped potatoes, grilled squashes, fondues, and Savoyard cheeses such as raclette and tomme de Savoie.
