Jacquère

Jacquère (French pronunciation: [ʒakɛʁ] ⓘ) is a variety of white grape found primarily in the Savoy wine region of France.

[1] It is a high-yielding vine variety which is used to produce lightly scented, refreshing and gently aromatic dry white wine, such as Vin de Savoie.

[1] After increased plantings in the 1980s, it has remained at a level of about 1,000 hectares (2,500 acres) in France since the 1990s.
