Description
WINEMAKER: Gilles Berlioz
REGION: Savoie, FR
VARIETY: Jacquère
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic
The nose expresses peach, honeysuckle, lime blossom and pink peppercorns. On the palate, “Cricri” plays the freshness card with a fine body that only reaches 10.5% alcohol, a treat to taste without moderation. The very mineral finish leaves a clean and salivating mouth, a treat that promises great vintages to come!
An iconic Domaine from Savoie, the Berlioz family has been farming 5 hectares in Chignin. Domaine Partagé-Gilles Berlioz is one of the heavyweights of biodynamic viticulture in Savoie. The adventure started in 1990. Gilles stopped the use of oak in 2006 and replaced it with fibre glass, and recently moved to élevage on fine lees in horizontal fibre glass eggs. "Why horizontal? That's how you find them in nature, don't you? Gilles and Christine want to make the best wines possible and show the world that you can produce Grand Cru class wines in this region. Every year, Gilles sells one quarter of their grapes to young vignerons providing a helping hand as they start in the industry.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
