Romain Chamiot cultivates roughly seven hectares across 30 parcels in the Apremont area, largely inherited from his grandparents. He works steep, mountainous vineyards with balanced, low-yielding viticulture, often on old vine Jacquère, and favors minimal intervention in the cellar to reflect freshness, minerality, and local expression.
- WINEMAKER: Romain Chamiot
- FARMING: Vineyard work is mostly manual due to steep slopes. Yields are controlled, and in the cellar sulfur additions are minimal.
- VARIETY: 100 % Jacquère (the primary white grape of the Apremont / Savoie region)
- TERROIR: The fruit comes from glacially influenced soils typical of Apremont, including marly-limestone, chalky moraines, and glacial debris (“abymes”) near the Roche du Granier escarpment. These soils provide crispness and minerality typical of Alpine whites.
- VINIFICATION: Grapes are harvested by hand, gently pressed whole cluster, and fermented spontaneously using native yeasts. Fermentation and élevage occur in stainless steel and enamel-lined tanks (cuves), with lees contact to add texture, and with minimal sulfur additions.
- AGING: The wine is aged on fine lees in tank, with no oak influence, before early bottling to preserve brightness and purity.
- TASTING NOTES: The 2024 Apremont is clean, lively, and aromatic—light citrus, green apple and pear with floral and mineral touches. It carries a crisp backbone, moderate body, and an approachable freshness with a hint of residual weight on the palate.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Serve with seafood, shellfish, fresh salads, light cheeses (e.g. Tomme de Savoie), or delicate Alpine dishes. Also excellent as an aperitif.
