Domaine de la Rosière Jongieux Mondeuse 2019

The village of Jongieux lies in the little-known Savoie region in the foothills of the French Alps near the Switzerland border. This is mountain wine country, primarily white wines made from the Jacquère grape. They are crisp, refreshingly acidic, and lower in alcohol — perfect for summer heat-wave drinking with fish, cheeses, and on their own.

The wines are getting new and well-deserved attention for their unique, delicious character and value when compared with wines from nearby, better-known regions, including the Rhône Valley and Burgundy.
