Welcome to
Achrimère
ACHRIMÈRE WINES is the realization of Aimee Desautels' lifelong passion for wine. After fifteen years of working as a wine buyer and brand manager throughout the state of Michigan, Aimee turned her love for wine into a working vineyard. After eleven years of planning and preparation, ACHRIMÈRE WINES was born on Old Mission Peninsula, Michigan, when Aimee planted her first Chardonnay and Pinot Gris grapes in 2015. Since 2017, Aimee has been harvesting her grapes and selling them to neighboring wineries on Old Mission Peninsula. In 2018, Aimee used 1.3 tons of fruit to create her own ACHRIMÈRE WINES.
The Wines
The Vineyard
Old Mission Peninsula AVA
Traverse City, Michigan
Location and Vineyard
Surrounded by
Lake Michigan
Located just south of the 45th parallel on the sandy loam soils of Old Mission Peninsula. Because of its special disposition in Northern Michigan, surrounded on all sides by Lake Michigan, Old Mission Peninsula AVA benefits from an extended growing season...the synergy between land and water provides a unique micro climate of warmer, moderating temperatures, which protects wine grapes from frost and cold situations that can freeze our buds off.
The Vineyard
