2024 Adrien Dacquin 'Saya' Red Blend

A Savoie red blend of 50% Persan, 30% Douce Noire, and 20% Plantet from Adrien Dacquin, a trained geographer who inherited about two hectares of steep, old vines from his father and grandfather in 2012. He farms largely by hand (sometimes with a horse) on a south-facing slope between the Bauges and Chartreuse massifs, and makes unsulfured wines in egg-shaped vats that speak clearly of the Alps. Lovely with raclette, sausages or mushroom dishes.
