Opened 10 days ago. Just a bit too oxidized but after a few days in Cali bothers it settled down and be a serviceable food wine, good acidity, not much complexity, oxidation blew off. — 8 months ago

Vin de Savoie Pinot Noir 2014

Wow, what an undervalued wine! So aromatic, rich mushroom and foraged raspberry. Warm ripe fruit so well balanced with high pitched acid. Doing lots of nice things for my brain. Love this region and this style! ⛰🍄🍓 — 7 years ago

Brut Bugey Montagnieu White Blend

Toasty biscuit, tart apricot, lime zest in the bouquet. Stone fruit, cave minerals, lemon curd, hints of golden apple on the palate. Zesty bubbly that’s well balanced... Happy New Year!! — 5 years ago

Domaine Gilles Berlioz

Les Filles Vin de Savoie Chignin-Bergeron Roussanne 2016

100% Roussanne.

Nose...If I ever had a white that I could tell you was "oily" this is that wine. Caramelized honey, pear, guava and wet clay.

Palate is hazelnut butter, macerated pear, over-ripe apricot. F...this is an amazing bottle, I don't happen across Roussanne like this everyday, or like ever!

Apremont Blanc Vin de Savoie Jacquere 2014

Golden, slightly oxidative, beaming acid, medium + body weight. Very Chablis like. $15 retail price and $30 like character. Very age worthy. — 7 years ago

9.0

Mmm, delicious. Altesse is likely my favorite Savoie white. While I live how Jacquere can almost have this ethereal quality to it, very pure mountain air kind of feel, Altesse brings this weight and depth which is really intriguing. This 2016 is just starting to show a little oxidation, but in a gracefully aged sort of way. Apple skin, delicate white flowers, slight brioche, lemon zest and loads of minerality on the finish. Delightful. — 3 years ago

Schiste Vin de pays d'Allobrogie Altesse 2018

One of loveliest whites I’ve tasted in recent memory. Floral, mineral, crisp, a touch of Roussanne richness...balance and Alpine purity. Looking forward to sipping this on a future trip to Chamonix. — 5 years ago
