Made famous by a catastrophic landslide in 1248, in which roughly 5000 people perished, Abymes sits just south of Chambéry in an Alpine Valley where the grape Jacquère is dominant. The name Abymes is said to come from an old translation of ruin, or abyss. Here we have a 5 hectare holding, in which the plot dedicated to Mary Taylor is 1 hectare. Benjamin Ravier works the vines according to HVE 3 standards of sustainability, committing to practices that allow for unadulterated expressions of the terroir of Abymes.
