There is something special about tasting wine where it is made. You can read notes, study scores and understand the theory, but it is not until you are standing in the vineyard, glass in hand, listening to the people behind the bottle, that it all clicks.

While Burgundy and Bordeaux often dominate the conversation around French wine, the alpine region of Savoie has quietly produced distinctive wines for centuries. Nestled between the Rhône Valley and the French Alps, this mountainous landscape is known for its steep vineyards, cool climate and fresh, mineral-driven wines. One of the region’s long-standing family producers is Edmond Jacquin et Fils, a domaine based in the village of Jongieux. Now arriving at The Reserve, these wines offer a rare opportunity to explore one of France’s most characterful yet underappreciated wine regions.
