Savoie // France

Gringet that has undergone 2 weeks of carbonic maceration for two weeks and then are punched for two months, and the ageing is one year in 300-litre barrels.

Pierra Menta is an exceptional organic, biodynamic and natural dry white wine from Savoie made by Jean-Yves Péron. Classified as a Vin de France, Pierra Menta is made from the Gringet grape variety. The winemaker plans to plant other vines of this old variety, until he obtains half a hectare.

Gringet, which is 100% Pierra Menta, is a white grape variety endemic to Haute-Savoie historically linked to the commune of Ayse, near Bonneville. Jean-Yves Péron's vines are planted near Albertville, on a south-facing mica schist plot. Gringet has long been confined to the Bonneville region and traditionally produces low-alcohol and high-yielding sparkling wines. It is an interesting grape variety, fruity, low in alcohol, with notes of quince and strong minerality. Pierra Menta's gringets macerate for two weeks in carbonic and then are punched for two months, and the ageing is one year in 300-litre barrels.

Quince, white fruit, floral notes with structure and nice acidity.

About the Producer

If you know of him then his wines need no introduction. For the uninitiated, Jean-Yves Peron’s wines are some of the most sought after. 

In the mountains of Savoie, Jean-Yves Péron is reviving forgotten, ancient vineyards—his oldest parcels planted in 1893. His ultra low-production, high-altitude wines have garnered a cult following. Just pure and unfiltered expressions of the grapes and the land. Perfect for those who love their wines with a little edge and a lot of personality.

Born and raised in the Savoie, Jean-Yves Péron studied winemaking in Bordeaux in the late 90’s. After school he spent some time working for iconic winemakers like Thierry Allemand in Cornas and Bruno Schuller in Alsace; both of whom he considers his mentors.

In 2004 he began making his own wine in the alpine village of Conflans on schist-covered sloping vineyards running anywhere between 350 and 550 meters. In some ways working vineyards at these altitudes in the Alps, on slopes this steep is more like mountain climbing than winemaking.

Due to the mountainous terrain, all of his’ vineyards (divided into several micro-parcels containing Mondeuse, Jacquère, Altesse, and Roussanne) are managed very manually. Jean-Yves works organically and biodynamically (though he doesn’t see the need for certification). Some of the whites see extended maceration times, influenced by his love for northern Italian “orange” wines and the reds tend to be made carbonically. 

In 2017, tickled with curiosity, Jean-Yves ventured across the Alps in search of alternative Italian varieties. I Vincini, "the neighbours", has been his Italian project in collaboration with local winemakers ever since.
