Silice Blanc Ardoisieres 2025
The Silice blanc cuvée from Domaine des Ardoisières is a celebration of alpine purity. Made exclusively from the Jacquère grape variety, it comes from the schistous and clay-limestone scree of Saint-Pierre-de-Soucy. True to Brice Omont's biodynamic practices, this wine stands out for its brilliant mineral tension and refreshing lightness. The nose reveals delicate notes of white flowers, citrus zest, and flint. On the palate, the attack is lively and thirst-quenching, offering a smooth texture and a striking saline finish. A highly drinkable wine, pure and energetic, that perfectly embodies the "schist signature" of the estate while remaining accessible and delightful.

Silice Blanc Ardoisieres: the purity of Jacquère on alpine terroirs
The Silice Blanc Ardoisieres illustrates all the finesse that Jacquère can achieve when it comes from great mountain terroirs. Produced by Domaine des Ardoisières, this cuvée precisely expresses the slopes of Fréterive, where the silica-rich soils, schists, and quartz give rise to a wine of remarkable tension.
Through Silice Blanc, the estate highlights a grape variety long considered confidential but capable of producing wines of great elegance when cultivated with care.
This cuvée captivates with its energy, crystalline freshness, and mineral depth. It currently represents one of the finest contemporary expressions of great white wines from Savoie.
A mountain vineyard shaped by nature
Domaine des Ardoisières works some of the most spectacular slopes of the Savoie vineyard.
The parcels destined for Silice Blanc are planted on steep slopes where every intervention requires particularly meticulous manual work.
The alpine climate plays an essential role in the wine's balance. Sunny days ensure perfect ripeness of the grapes while cool nights preserve a natural acidity that brings a lot of energy to the tasting.
This demanding viticulture allows for the production of concentrated grapes while maintaining remarkable freshness.
A respectful approach to living systems
Domaine des Ardoisières prioritizes a cultivation method attentive to biodiversity and the expression of terroirs.
Each intervention aims to support the vine without masking the personality of the vintage.
Silice Blanc Ardoisieres and the terroirs of Fréterive
The Silice Blanc Ardoisieres primarily comes from the slopes of Fréterive, in Combe de Savoie.
These parcels rest on a subsoil where silica, schists, and quartz play a determining role in the wine's personality.
This geology promotes a regular supply of the vine while offering excellent drainage.
The Jacquère grape finds here an exceptional expression ground. It develops a deeper and more complex expression than on traditional plain terroirs.
The altitude and alpine influences enhance this sensation of freshness that constitutes the cuvée's signature.
Jacquère in its noblest expression
Long associated with simple wines, Jacquère demonstrates all its potential here.
Thanks to low yields and the quality of the terroir, it reveals remarkable aromatic precision as well as great aging potential.
A tasting of remarkable precision
The color presents a pale gold hue with silver reflections.
The bouquet opens with aromas of lemon, citron, green apple, and fresh pear.
After a few moments, notes of white flowers, fennel, wet stone, oyster shell, and citrus zest appear.
The palate impresses with its tension.
The attack is lively, straight, and perfectly balanced.
The mid-palate gradually gains volume before a long, saline, and intensely mineral finish.
A minerality that signifies the terroir
The Silice Blanc Ardoisieres has a very pronounced identity.
Its finish evokes rock, damp chalk, and the alpine landscapes from which it originates.
