Jean-Yves Péron’s Les Œillets Amphore 2022 is a natural orange wine crafted from 100% Jacquère grapes grown on clay-limestone soils in Les Marches, Savoie, at the foot of Mont Granier. From steep, organic, and biodynamic micro-parcels at 350–550 meters altitude, the grapes are hand-harvested late to achieve advanced phenolic maturity and enhanced tannic concentration. The winemaking involves a four-to-five-day carbonic maceration followed by a month of pigeage in vats, with spontaneous fermentation using native yeasts. The wine is aged for at least one year in terracotta amphorae, unfined, unfiltered, and without added sulfites. This results in a vibrant, textured wine with a delicate tannic grip, showcasing powerful aromas of candied citrus, apricot, and white stone fruit, underpinned by explosive minerality and a controlled oxidative note. Its palate offers a chewy, tea-like tannic structure (reminiscent of green tea or Earl Grey), bright tension, and a supple, oolong-like finish. Ideal for gastronomic pairings with fish, poultry, or creamy cheeses, it’s a complex, atypical expression of Savoie’s native Jacquère.
