{"title":"Romain Chamiot","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Chamiot family has owned vineyards in the Apremont appellation for several generations. Romain Chamiot studied oenology at school in Beaune, Burgundy, then returned to Savoie to take over the domaine from his grandfather, Jérôme Tardy, converting the estate to organic viticulture upon his return.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe domaine covers 7 hectares spread across 30 parcels within the Vin de Savoie and Vin de Savoie Apremont AOCs. Nearly all plantings are Jacquère, with a tiny 0.2-hectare parcel of Mondeuse near Arbin. The majority of vines are 40 to 50 years old, with some parcels exceeding 80 years. Most parcels are farmed by hand due to steep slopes; a handful of flatter valley plots are accessible by tractor. Harvest is done parcel-by-parcel over roughly two weeks as each block reaches ripeness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll fermentation and elevage takes place in a combination of stainless steel and enamel cuve — no oak is used at any stage. The wine rests on its lees before bottling, contributing a light textural lift. The dry mountain climate naturally limits disease pressure, allowing for very low sulfur additions at bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"apremont-jacquere-romain-chamiot-natural-wine","title":"Romain Chamiot Apremont Jacquere 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eRomain Chamiot's Apremont is 100% Jacquère from the Vin de Savoie Apremont AOC, grown across 30 parcels spread over 7 hectares beneath Mont Granier. The vineyards sit at elevations between 290 and 500 meters in the communes of Apremont, Saint-Baldoph, and Les Marches, on clay-marl soils blanketed by limestone rubble deposited by the catastrophic 1248 Mont Granier landslide. Most parcels are farmed by hand due to slope steepness. Vines average 40 to 50 years old, with select parcels reaching 80 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFermentation and elevage take place entirely in a mix of stainless steel and enamel cuve with no oak contact. The wine spends time on its lees, which adds a modest textural weight without sacrificing Jacquère's defining freshness. Sulfur additions are kept very low, a practice made easier by the dry mountain climate that keeps disease pressure minimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, the wine shows lemon zest, white pear, apricot, and flint-like minerality. The palate is light to medium bodied with bright, nervy acidity, a touch of residual sugar that rounds the mid-palate, and a citrus-driven finish with a faint saline quality. This is a wine built for immediate drinking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Romain Chamiot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40921219760327,"sku":"CHAMAPRE20C","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/romain-chamiot-apremont-savoie-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780185729"}],"url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/collections\/romain-chamiot.oembed","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
