Gilles Berlioz, Chignin-Bergeron Les Filles, Vin de Savoie

Low acidity, but chewy texture and really nice density and purity. Nose and palate have nice minerality and a combination of peach, Crenshaw melon, and mixed tropical fruits including pineapple and coconut hints. Nice long finish, luxurious with some almond and a slight bitterness from the tannins in this wine. Great with a crab dip and my baguettes.

Very smooth! Dry cantaloupe, peaches, kiwi. Almond, some nuttiness in there too. Fantastic!

Deep lemon core. Peach on the nose, with an herbal note. Fairly full-bodied, with balanced acidity. The palate mirrors the nose. Roussane can be difficult to read. This is rich and tightly-packed, yet still relatively muted, even after the better part of a decade. More time might bring this around. It's definitely very well made, with loads of amazing raw materials and not a trace of oxidation. It's just not saying an awful lot right now.

WIML93 Tasted non blind. Light yellow to yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of quince, apricot, lychee, light notes of nutmeg and wet stones. Flavors of quince, tangerine, peach, ginger and mineral water. Medium to bright acidity, medium to full bodied. Drink or hold.

I'm a great fan of Roussanne but not for the first time Bergeron from Savoie has left me pretty disappointed. This is rustic and not particularly clean - indeed offputtingly so. Poor storage perhaps?

WIML92 Tasted non blind. Yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of nutmeg, yellow pear, yellow apples and wet stones. Flavors of lemon, yellow pears and minerals. Medium to bright acidity, medium body. Drink or hold. GNO

white fruits and minerality. Like Beaucastel VV for a fraction of the cost

Gras et ample, des pêches et des épices avec un fond mielleux. La finale est bien longue sur le gingembre. Bien.

WIML92 Tasted non blind. Opened and served immediately. Followed over about two hours. Light yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of lemon wax, honeysuckle and yellow pear. Flavors of lemon, yellow apple and a dash of honeycomb. Medium to bright acidity, medium to full bodied. Drink over the medium tannin.

Absolute joy to drink. Fine mineral texture serves as the backbone to a lifted peach pit and ginger.
