Description
Domaine Giachino’s Apremont is a sparkling Savoie wine with a mineral, expressive and fruity nose (hints of lemon). On the palate, it unfolds with an intense, full-bodied and long finish, featuring notes of bergamot, pineapple and elderflower. A lovely pairing to accompany a savoury tart or hard-rind cheeses (Beaufort, Abondance, Comté, etc.).
