Andre et Michel Quenard Les Abymes Savoie 2023 750ml
Description
Les Abymes represents one of Savoie’s most distinctive crus, where a massive medieval landslide created unique soils that produce wines of exceptional character. The Quenards’ old vines in this legendary site yield Jacqu?re of unprecedented complexity and minerality.
The wine opens with intense aromatics of citrus and wet stone, immediately conveying the site’s unique terroir. As it develops, notes of white flowers, green apple, and crushed herbs emerge, while the limestone-rich soils contribute an almost electric minerality. The 2023’s perfect balance enhances the site’s expression, creating a wine of remarkable precision. On the palate, laser-like acidity carries pure fruit flavors, while the mineral backbone provides structure and extraordinary length. Despite its intensity, the wine maintains ethereal lightness.
This Les Abymes showcases why site matters even in lesser-known regions. The combination of unique terroir, old vines, and the Quenards’ expertise creates a wine that transcends typical expectations for Savoie. For those seeking wines with genuine terroir expression and distinctive character, this bottle offers a fascinating glimpse into one of France’s most unique vineyard sites – liquid geology that speaks clearly of its dramatic origins.
