Our Review of the Cuvée

This wine offers a rich and captivating sensory experience. On the nose, it is a dance of stewed fruit with thiolic and earthy notes, evoking flint, elderberry, and hints of cooked peach and grapefruit. Hints of boxwood and peppermint add freshness. On the palate, the liveliness surprises from the very first sip, underscored by a pronounced mineral tension. The texture is delicate, almost silky, and each sip delivers a perfectly orchestrated explosion of flavors, culminating in a dazzling finish.

Savoie | France

Gilles Berlioz’s approach is evident in vineyards tended almost like a garden, where each vine is pruned to reveal its unique character. Here, the Jacquère and Altesse varieties develop a density unusual for Savoie, characterized by crystalline fruit and pronounced complexity. The morainic soils impart a subtle tension that structures the whole, while the aging—often long but discreet—softens the edges without dampening the wines’ energy. These cuvées exhibit the candor characteristic of estates that harvest at just the right ripeness, with a luminous touch and a quiet depth. It is patient, transparent work that demonstrates just how capable Chignin is of producing white wines of great stature.
