Product details
Description
Le Feu is a dry white wine produced by Domaine du Gringet in Ayze, in the Savoie region of France. Made from Gringet grapes grown on a south-facing slope characterized by red marl rich in iron oxide, this wine reflects the producer's commitment to enhancing the terroir through organic and biodynamic practices.
The vinification involves a gentle seven-hour pressing, followed by spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wine is aged for nine months on fine lees in egg-shaped concrete tanks without filtration or clarification, and then rests for ten months in bottle before being released.
On the nose, it offers aromas of melon, pear, and tangerine, with hints of licorice and a saline note. On the palate, the wine provides an enveloping texture, lively freshness, and long persistence, highlighting the mineral quality typical of its terroir.
It pairs perfectly with fish dishes, shellfish, or soft cheeses.
