Tasting notes

Pale copper-gold with a natural haze from lees aging. The nose is fresh and delicate: white peach, dried apricot, yellow flowers, and a limestone mineral note. The palate is light and textured, with fresh citrus acidity, gentle skin tannins, and a clean saline finish.

Jean-Yves Péron La Petite Robe White 2023 is a dry orange wine made by Jean-Yves Péron from 100% Jacquère grown on clay-limestone soils in the Les Marches lieu-dit at the foot of Mont Granier in Savoie. Farmed organically and biodynamically without formal certification, the vines are harvested by hand earlier than the estate's Les Œillets cuvée for a lighter phenolic profile. Whole bunches undergo 4 to 5 days of semi-carbonic maceration, then 10 days of punchdowns, before the free-run and press are blended and aged on lees for one year in neutral 225-liter oak barrels. Jean-Yves Péron La Petite Robe White 2023 is bottled without fining, filtration, or added sulfites at around 11% ABV.

Féra du Lac, grilled trout, oysters, soft goat cheese, sushi, burrata, boquerones, Vietnamese fresh rolls, fried zucchini blossoms, charcuterie.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

Producer profile

Jean-Yves Péron

Jean-Yves Péron is the vigneron most closely associated with the revival of skin-contact whites in Savoie, and La Petite Robe is the most accessible entry point into his range. He began macerating Jacquère in 2006, the first vintage after establishing his estate in 2004 in Chevaline, near Lake Annecy. What started as an experiment with four days of skin contact has evolved into a differentiated range of white wines, each with its own maceration length and soil profile, from the lighter La Petite Robe to the more structured Les Œillets and the complex Côtillon des Dames blend.

Péron's influences are well-documented: oenology training in Bordeaux, a formative year with Thierry Allemand in Cornas, time with Bruno Schueller in Alsace, and harvest stints in Oregon and New Zealand. His return to Savoie was motivated by the belief that the region's old-vine parcels on steep schist and limestone sites were capable of making wines that had no comparison elsewhere in France, if farmed and vinified with the right combination of patience and restraint. The estate now covers approximately 4.5 hectares across multiple micro-parcels in Conflans, Fréterive, and Les Marches, all worked by hand due to the steep gradient of most sites.

In the cellar, the protocol is fixed across every wine: native ambient yeasts for all fermentations, no fining, no filtration, and zero sulfur additions from harvest to bottling. Vessel choice varies by cuvée: the whites use 225 to 300-liter neutral oak barrels, while some experimental cuvées are aged in terracotta amphora. Total annual production is approximately 15,000 bottles, split between the estate Savoie wines and the I Vicini and Les Voisins négociant ranges.

La Petite Robe, whose name translates as "the little dress," is designed as the most immediate and food-friendly expression in Péron's white range, a wine that shows what a 4 to 5-day maceration on Jacquère can do when the fruit is healthy, the terroir is limestone, and nothing is added in the cellar.

Wine region

Savoie, France

Mont Granier is a limestone massif rising to 6,200 ft in the Chartreuse mountain range on the western edge of Savoie, between Chambéry and Grenoble. At its foot lies the village of Les Marches and the surrounding agricultural plain, which sits on one of the most geologically distinctive soil formations in the region: the debris fan created by the catastrophic collapse of the Granier massif in November 1248, one of the largest recorded rockfalls in European history. The collapse destroyed several villages and killed several hundred people, depositing an enormous spread of broken limestone, clay, and rubble across the valley floor and lower slopes. The resulting soils, calcium-rich clay-limestone in irregular, free-draining layers, define the terroir of the Les Marches lieu-dit and contribute directly to the mineral and saline character of the wines grown there.

The AOP Vin de Savoie covers this area broadly, with Jacquère the dominant variety across the lower-lying sites around Les Marches and Apremont. This corner of Savoie is warmer and more sheltered than the higher-altitude sites further east, moderated by the Chartreuse range to the west and the Bauges Mountains to the north. The exposure and geology create conditions suited to growing Jacquère at slightly higher ripeness than at altitude, which is why Péron harvests his La Petite Robe fruit earlier than Les Œillets from the same site, preserving freshness and preventing the wine from becoming heavy.

Jacquère's natural profile, high acidity, delicate aromatics, and low phenolic structure, means it responds differently to skin contact than Altesse or Roussanne. A short semi-carbonic maceration of 4 to 5 days followed by 10 days of punchdowns draws out enough color and textural interest to transform the wine into a genuine orange without the structural weight of a longer maceration. The result is an orange wine that still drinks with something of Savoie's characteristic lightness and alpine freshness, sitting stylistically between a conventional white and the more structured Les Œillets.
