Vin de Savoie Chignin-Bergeron Les Christine Gilles Berlioz 2016

The wine

Recognisable by its beautiful label, this is a cuvée that pays homage to women, particularly Gilles’ wife, Christine. One of the domain’s biggest successes, this is a gentle blend of ripe, yellow fruits and a delicate minerality. It will pair nicely with refined, Savoy cheeses and fish.

About the Producer Domaine partagé (Gilles Berlioz)

It has now been thirty years since Gilles Berlioz changed career paths from landscaping to wine making. Passionate and modest, he is careful in the cultivation of his Chignin terroirs, going as far as to work his land with horses. Converted to organic growing in 2005, this 5-hectare domain has recently been certified biodynamic by Demeter. The wines, vinified as one cuvée per terroir, are wonderfully accomplished, pure, mineral and delicate. They aren't made in large quantities, but these cuvées perfectly represent their terroirs. Impassioned by the evolution of his work, Gilles Berlioz is always looking for new ways to improve his vines and growing techniques, always with the aim of better respecting the nature that surrounds him.
