Chignin Anne de la Biguerne 2025 Domaine Jean-François Quénard

Presentation of chignin anne de la biguerne

The chignin anne de la biguerne finely illustrates the precision of great Savoyard white wines. Crafted by A&S and Jean-François Quénard, this confidential cuvée highlights the emblematic grape variety of the Chignin appellation: Jacquère, here interpreted in a more ambitious and deeper version.

It is important to distinguish this cuvée from other wines of the estate, particularly the more ample Chignin-Bergeron made from Roussanne. The chignin anne de la biguerne offers a more tense and mineral reading of the Savoyard terroir, true to the alpine identity of the vineyard.

The name of the cuvée refers to the local legend of the "Biguerne," a mythological Savoyard creature symbolizing the strength and character of the territory. This heritage dimension perfectly aligns with the philosophy of the estate, deeply committed to valuing mountain terroirs.

Grown on steep slopes benefiting from privileged exposures, this cuvée today appeals to fans of fresh, precise, and particularly gastronomic whites.

Why choose a great white from Jacquère?

The chignin anne de la biguerne surprises with its ability to reveal the nobility of a grape variety often associated with simpler and more immediate wines. Here, the Jacquère gains in depth while retaining its natural energy.

On the nose, the aromas unveil notes of fresh citrus, green apple, crunchy pear, and white flowers. As it opens, more mineral nuances gradually appear, slightly stony, accompanied by herbal touches and citrus zest.

On the palate, the freshness immediately impresses. The texture remains fine and chiseled, driven by a particularly persistent saline tension. The finish, long and delicately mineral, brings a lot of precision.

The chignin anne de la biguerne will appeal to lovers of digestible white wines, alpine terroirs, and gastronomic cuvées with strong identity.

Characteristics of chignin anne de la biguerne

The identity of the chignin anne de la biguerne is based on a demanding interpretation of the Savoyard terroir and a constant search for balance between freshness and complexity.

A terroir Jacquère with strong identity

The chignin anne de la biguerne is made from Jacquère, a historic grape variety from Savoie known for its freshness and natural tension.

The selected parcels benefit from limestone soils and alpine influences favoring a progressive ripening of the grapes. This combination allows for the preservation of liveliness and mineral expression while gaining aromatic depth.

The result is a particularly precise wine, where citrus, white fruits, and mineral notes express themselves with great purity.

This approach demonstrates the qualitative potential of Jacquère when worked with rigor.
