About the wine
The clue is in the name with this one, ‘En Route Pour l'Apero’ which translates to ‘On the Way to an Aperitif’. Here we have a natural wine which pays homage to the alpine grape variety Jacquère - the king of the aperitif!
Fresh, taught and pure with citrus, pears and apples aplenty. A satisfying streak of classic alpine acidity gives the wine an incredible freshness with a pure, tonic-like quality that means a bottle never lasts long. Clocking in at the right side of £20, there is fantastic value to be found here.
Made with 100% Jacquère from vines planted on clay soils on vines situated at an altitude between 350 and 450 metres on steep slopes. Fermentation and aging takes place in a mixture of cement and old barrel.
About Domaine Dupraz

They work 18ha of vineyards in the foothills of the Chartreuse massif in Apremont, within the lieu-dit of Le Reposoir. Jérémy and Maxime produce natural wines to obtain the purest expression of Jacquere and other grapes, such as Mondeuse and Altesse.
