Description
Chez Édouard is a dry white wine produced by Domaine du Gringet in Ayze, in the Savoie region of France. Made from Gringet grapes grown in a south-facing vineyard located at an altitude of 620 meters and planted in 1914 on calcareous soil rich in debris, this wine fully expresses the complexity of the terroir through uncertified biodynamic management and organic practices in the certification process.
The winemaking involves a slow pressing lasting between 4 and 7 hours, followed by a static decantation of 24 hours. Fermentation occurs spontaneously thanks to the indigenous yeasts present on the grapes. The wine is aged for 9 months on the lees in stoneware jars, and then rests in the bottle for an additional 10 months before being released to the market.
On the nose, delicate aromas of white-fleshed fruit, wild herbs, and wet stone emerge. The palate is tense and fine, with a pronounced verticality and persistent minerality that faithfully reflects the altitude and calcareous nature of the soil.
It pairs perfectly with fish-based dishes or soft cheeses.
