Domaine Adrien Berlioz - Savoie Marie-Clothilde 2022

RVF
"A Mondeuse Off the Beaten Path"
This full-bodied Mondeuse is a delightful surprise, full of delicacy. Rich and full-bodied, it exudes elegance and structure, thanks to a lovely acidity on the finish. The tannins are still young and tight. Let it age for a few years to fully appreciate all its flavors.

About the estate:
Adrien Berlioz, a young cousin (and neighbor) of Gilles Berlioz, established his operation in 2006. A demanding and meticulous winemaker, he personally cultivates all his vineyards using organic methods (Demeter certification in 2020), including those located on the steepest slopes. With 14 different cuvées across just over 5 hectares, quantities are very limited and these artisanal wines are hard to come by. We admire the diversity, energy, and authenticity of these cuvées, which are contemporary yet deeply rooted in Savoyard identity and age with grace. Adrien’s latest project: the restoration of a forgotten vineyard in Détrier, at the gateway to the Gelon Valley, featuring four hectares of heritage grape varieties grown on pergola trellises (Bia Blanc, Barbin, Joubertin, Verdesse, Mondeuse Blanche and Noire, Altesse)! Year after year, the estate reaffirms its central place among the region’s elite, serving as a benchmark for both wine enthusiasts and young winemakers settling in the Alpine vineyards with ever-higher ambitions.
