Roger Labbe’s Abymes is 100% Jacquère, a varietal that grows especially well in the Savoie region of France. While the appellation tolerates 10% of other grape varieties, Labbe chooses to feature the purity of this varietal in this bottling. A clean, dry white wine; tangy, chalky minerals and floral fruit flavors, it is a natural match for shellfish.
Jacquère is a white grape variety native to France’s Savoie region, where it is the most widely planted grape. It thrives in the Alpine foothills, particularly in appellations like Apremont and Abymes, where the cool climate and limestone-rich soils help preserve its naturally high acidity and fresh character.
What makes Jacquère unique is its light body, crisp acidity, and delicate aromatics, making it one of the most refreshing and mineral-driven white wines. It typically expresses bright citrus, green apple, white flowers, and subtle herbal notes, often with a pronounced stony, saline minerality due to the region’s limestone and glacial soils. Unlike fuller-bodied white wines, Jacquère is meant to be enjoyed young, highlighting its lively and thirst-quenching nature.
Jacquère pairs exceptionally well with fondue, raclette, seafood, and light appetizers, making it a perfect companion for Alpine cuisine and those who appreciate crisp, elegant white wines.

Savoie is a small, mountainous wine region in eastern France near the Alps, known for its crisp, refreshing wines. With vineyards often planted on steep slopes at high altitudes, Savoie’s cool climate preserves acidity and freshness in the wines. The region specializes in white wines made from indigenous grapes like Jacquère, Altesse (Roussette), and Roussanne (locally called Bergeron). These whites are typically light-bodied, floral, and mineral-driven, perfect with regional dishes like fondue or raclette. Red wines are lighter and savory, made from grapes like Mondeuse and Gamay. Savoie also produces traditional method sparkling wines in smaller quantities. The wines are rarely aged in new oak and are often low in alcohol, making them vibrant and food-friendly. Though lesser-known than nearby Burgundy, Savoie offers unique expressions of terroir and is gaining attention for its clean, alpine style and commitment to native grape varieties. It’s a hidden gem for adventurous wine lovers.
