A few words from the estate: "Fruity nose of peach, toasted almond, butter and soft spices. Fine, chiselled mouthfeel, tonic, fruity sparkle, warm, mineral, taut finish."
Denis and Didier Berthollier
Denis and Didier Berthollier are the two brothers at the helm of the estate of the same name, located in the heart of the Savoyard countryside of Chignin. We have to go back to 1850 to find the first traces of the family business, with a few vines and the first farmhouse. At that time, the vines were grown for the family's own consumption and the rest was sold to the bistros of Chambéry in good years. There have been many changes over the decades, with a major turning point in 1970, when Denis and Didier's parents gave up mixed farming to devote themselves exclusively to wine. With the arrival of the two brothers on the estate in 1995 and 1998, the changes continued, leading to a high quality production: cultivation of steeper plots, conversion to organic and then biodynamic farming, refinement of the plots, vinification without sulphur... Today, the duo offers us wines that are always straightforward and delicious, reflecting the purity of their environment and the excellence of their path.
