Gilles Berlioz is a self-taught vigneron who has become a leading figure in Savoie's natural wine movement. Originally a landscaper, he and his wife Christine established their domaine in Chignin in 1990. Initially expanding to seven hectares, they later reduced the estate to approximately 4.5 hectares to focus on quality and sustainability. Committed to organic farming since 1999 and biodynamics since 2005, Gilles emphasizes minimal intervention to let the terroir express itself fully. His wines, such as the Chignin-Bergeron "Les Filles" and Mondeuse "La Deuse," are celebrated for their purity, energy, and reflection of the alpine landscape.
A beautifully pure expression of 100% Altesse from Gilles and Christine Berlioz’s biodynamically farmed vineyards around Chignin. Grown on the steep clay-limestone slopes of the Combe de Savoie, the wine is fermented spontaneously and raised entirely in fibreglass eggs, spending six months on its lees without fining or filtration. White peach and ripe pear meet citrus, white flowers and subtle mountain herbs, with a gentle touch of spice underneath. The palate has more depth and texture than its modest alcohol suggests, combining ripe fruit with fine tension and vibrant acidity. Precise, mineral and distinctly Alpine, finishing long, fresh and gently saline.
