Jacquere is known for making a clean and fresh alpine white wine that is both savory and mineral. The Demeure-Pinet Jacquere is gently pressed in a pneumatic press and the must is quickly cleared. Fermentation occurs at low temperature in 48 HL stainless steel tanks. The wine rests on its lees in tank over the winter and is bottled in the early spring. Being outside of the limits of sectors classified as Savoie Appellation Controlée, Domaine Demeure- Pinet wines are labelled with the name of the grape variety and the “default” Vin de Pays (now IGP): namely, Vin des Allobroges. The term “Allobroges” refers to the Gaulois people who populated the region from the Rhone Valley and eastward into Alps -- later known as Savoie -- in the centuries before the Roman era.

France’s Guide Hachette des Vins (2009 edition) lauded Domaine Demeure-Pinet: “this Domaine has become a reference in the vinification of Jacquere....With its great vivacity, the wine evokes white flowers (acacia) and citrus fruit (lemon) complemented by a touch of minerals. On the palate, one has the sensation of crunching into a green apple....” Delicious as an aperitif or with oysters. Of course, the classic pairing in the area is with raclette, fondue, or a farmhouse Reblochon cheese.
