Domaine Labbé, Abymes, Vin de Savoie, Savoie, France, 2021
Overview of the Wine
In 1975, two brothers established a small farm on 10 hectares of land in Savoy, France, a region that borders Switzerland and sits at the foothill of the Alps. The Labbé farm produced hay, wheat, milk, beef and table grapes.... When two cousins- sons of the founding brothers took over the estate in 2004, they decided to focus on winegrowing instead of animal husbandry, and for our drinking pleasure, wisely planted the AOC’s designated Jacquère grape and began wine production. Today - the brand is over delivering and making some really classic wines we recommend.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
A clean, dry white wine; tangy, chalky minerals and floral fruit flavors, it is a natural match for shellfish. Roger Labbe’s Abymes is 100% Jacque`re, a varietal that grows especially well in the Savoie region of France. While the appellation tolerates 10% of other grape varieties, Labbe chooses to feature the purity of this varietal in this bottling.
I highly recommend this Savoie classic - crisp, dry, flinty, and great with your fondue - or grilled fish. - Sommelier, Ian Blackburn.
