Domaine Adrien Berlioz Savoie 'La Cuvee des Gueux' Blanc 2022

Located at the foothills of the Bauges massif, and bordering neighbouring Switzerland and Valle d’Aosta in Italy, the organically farmed vineyards of Domaine Adrien Berlioz in the Savoie region are as picturesque as you might imagine.

Berlioz took over the family vineyards in 2006, two hectares located near a small village called Chignin at 390m above sea level. With plenty of hard work alongside the pursuit of purity and a certified biodynamic approach to farming, he has grown the vineyard to 5 hectares, transforming it into one of the region’s most prestigious domaines.

Expressive aromatics of ripe apple, nashi pear, lemon peel and notes of honey. Lively and electric on the palate, leading with notes of ripe green apple and pear. It’s a rich and intensely textured wine, with charming acidity and length to complete the package. There’s qualities here similar to a Loire chenin blanc, but the combination of the jacquere with the magic touch and power from the altesse is really something unique! - Mosaique Wines, Importer
