This refreshing white is beautifully expressive of its mountain terroir and pairs well with goat cheese, lemon herb chicken or fresh fish.

- Table Talk Abymes literally means “damaged land.” The appellation was formed after a massive 1248 landslide from Mont Granier, which created the rocky, mineral-rich soils that define these bright Alpine wines today.
Domaine Labbe Vin de Savoie Abymes comes from Domaine Labbé, a small family-run estate founded in 1975 in the foothills of the French Alps near Chambéry. The cousins Alexandra and Jérôme Labbe now steward the 10 ha of vineyards nestled in the historic Abymes cru — one of the named terroirs within the Vin de Savoie appellation known for its broken limestone and gravel soils — and focus on sustainable farming and native yeast fermentations to showcase the local Jacquère grape. The wines are bright, mineral-driven expressions of Savoie’s cool mountain climate, delivering lively acidity and pure Alpine character that pair beautifully with seafood and regional cuisine.
