The Jacquère de Combafort et Pré Callet, the region's only grape variety, is cultivated on clay-limestone soils with a southwest exposure, thus optimizing ripening conditions. The vines, aged between 49 and 72 years, are planted at high density, enhancing the concentration of aromas. This unchaptalized wine is distinguished by its golden straw color and green highlights. The meticulous winemaking process reveals a singular aromatic complexity and perfect balance.

Our opinion on the vintage

This wine offers a rich and captivating sensory experience. On the nose, it's a dance of stewed fruits with thiolic and earthy notes, evoking flint, elderflower, and hints of cooked peach and grapefruit. Touches of boxwood and peppermint add freshness. On the palate, the vivacity is surprising from the 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 brilliant finish.

Domaine Partagé - Gilles Berlioz

Savoie | France

Gilles Berlioz's work is expressed in vineyards cultivated almost like a garden, where each vine is pruned to reveal its unique character. The Jacquère and Altesse varieties here achieve an unusual density for Savoie, driven by crystalline fruit and a pronounced structure. The morainic soils impart a delicate tension that structures the whole, while the aging process, often long but discreet, softens the contours without diminishing the wines' energy. The wines share the characteristic frankness of estates that harvest at perfect ripeness, with a luminous touch and a tranquil depth. A patient, transparent approach that demonstrates just how capable Chignin is of producing exceptional white wines.
