Introduction:
The 2022 Domaine des Ardoisières Silice Blanc is a sleek and mineral-driven white wine that channels the alpine essence of Savoie. Made entirely from Jacquère, this wine is a crisp, refreshing expression of mountain terroir and precise, natural winemaking.

Terrior:
Grown on the lower slopes of Mont Granier, in the heart of the French Alps, the Jacquère vines are rooted in stony marls and limestone soils. The cool alpine climate—with dramatic temperature swings between day and night—preserves acidity and sharpens aromatic detail, producing wines of finesse, nerve, and clarity.

Appearance:
Pale straw yellow with a silver sheen. Bright and clear, visually signaling freshness and lightness.

Nose:
Aromatic and focused, with delicate notes of alpine flowers, crushed rocks, and green apple. Underlying hints of citrus peel and fresh herbs round out the bouquet with an elegant lift.

Palate:
Light-bodied and razor-sharp, featuring flavors of lime, green apple, and saline minerality. The texture is fine and chalky, and the acidity is vibrant—energizing the palate without overwhelming it.

Finish:
Bright, mouthwatering, and persistent, with lingering citrus, wet stone, and a clean, bracing snap that speaks to its mountain origin.

Overall Impression:
The 2022 Silice Blanc is a pure, terroir-driven white wine that delivers energy, texture, and mineral depth. Ideal for lovers of lean, precise whites—it’s a brilliant companion to shellfish, alpine cheeses, or simply as an aperitif.
