creating a nice freshness. The final has roasted almonds flavor.

Domaine de l’Idylle 2013 Cruet Vieille vigne (Savoie)Ripe white fruits are cut by a
refreshing grapefruit acidity. It’s so bright, crisp with a bounce to its texture that’s
irresistible. The aftertaste is a shower of bright flavors. Drink now.
2013 Domaine de l’Idylle Cruet “Vieilles Vignes” (Savoie) 750ml
Not as obvious as the regular Cruet, the mid and back end of the VV explodes through to
a fantastic finish that remains light weight, refreshing and full of the stone-tinged melted
snow and sunshine that the best bottles of old vine Cruet possess. 100% Jacquere from
high elevation 40-60 year old vines and darn proud of it. While the regular Cruet is more
full of crunch at the moment, this will be better in time. A wine that is even better on day
2-3 (with a history of lovely drinking from a variety of vintages). 11.5% alc. Best from
2015-2017+

Vieille Vigne 2012
A remarkable refreshing wine from Savoie with slight saline taste: la cuvée Cruet
Vieilles Vignes 2012 du Domaine de l'Idylle.
This Jacquère is characterized by a very fine and refreshing taste. It marries up
wonderfully with cheeses from Savoy and fishes. The saline taste makes it very
special and complex. To be discovered!
Note de la RVF : 15,5/20

Jacquère. Chosen by Wink Lorch.
Smoky and much finer than the Gilles Berlioz Chignin. Very alpine and
fresh and seductive. GV
Domaine de l’Idylle, Cruet Vieilles Vignes, Savoie, France 2011
Made from the Jacquère grape and by a producer that has revitalised and revamped
its land and cellars. Very elegant and fresh, with apple and citrus notes supported
by great depth of flavour, resulting in what is a perfect aperitif wine. This has a lot
to offer.
