La Tour Sarazine White 2022
Jean-Yves Péron
La Tour Sarazine is an organic, biodynamic, and natural dry white wine from Jean-Yves Péron. Made from Muscat à Petit Grain, this white wine macerated in Vin de France is sometimes blended with Jacquère when the vintage is low-yielding.
Vinification
Sourced from a schistose micro-plot in the Albertville vineyard, the La Tour Sarazine harvest ferments using carbonic maceration for fifteen days. After pressing, it is aged for one year in tuns and barrels. Unfiltered, unfined, no added sulfites.
Tasting
Jean-Yves Péron's Tour Sarazine has a very muscat profile – musky, floral, aromatic, exotic – reinforced by the mineral clarity of Savoyard schist. For pairings, it's a call to the imagination, between cheeses and cuisines from elsewhere: for the former, we recommend them creamy, and for the latter, don't hesitate to delve into Asian repertoires.
Learn more about Jean-Yves Péron
Jean-Yves Péron is a talented embodiment of the organic, biodynamic and natural renaissance of the Savoyard vineyard, which is based on varied soils and numerous indigenous grape varieties (Jacquère, Altesse, Mondeuse, etc.). At his Chevaline winery in the Bauges region, he vinifies grapes from his plots in Conflans, near Albertville, and Fréterive, in the Isère valley.
High-altitude biodynamics
Jean-Yves Péron's work follows the principles of minimal intervention. On narrow, steep slopes, his hand-worked mountain vines in micro-plots receive no synthetic products, Jean-Yves preferring horsetail and nettle manure. All of Jean-Yves Péron's wines are sulfite-free, made from hand-harvested grapes, vinified in whole bunches and foot-trodden in the vat. For all vintages, the free-run and press are blended, then aged on lees for at least one year, in two- or three-wine barrels, amphorae or tuns, before final blending. They must be stored at a temperature below 18°C. No sulfites are added, or as little as possible, and the wines are not fined or filtered.
Italo-Savoyard trade
Since 2011, a trading activity has allowed Jean-Yves Péron to buy the harvest from neighboring organic winegrowers and to collaborate with winegrowers from Northern Italy: this is the I Vicini series, which allows him to diversify the terroirs and deepen his experiences in winemaking and aging.
