"A lovely, rich, and indulgent painting"
“As it matures, Résilience exudes aromas of orange blossom, jasmine, mandarin, and white peach. On the palate, it combines body and structure. A superb wine whose finish evokes acacia honey. The wine is a blend of all the estate’s plots, as the drought caused yields to drop in 2023. The name then takes on its full meaning... ” (The RVF Guide 2026)

Eye
Deep, golden color with amber and milky highlights
Nose
With a buttery, brioche-like character and a honeyed evolution, it displays a full-bodied expression in which the rich, dried, and candied fruit notes complement the intensity of the floral, spicy, and smoky notes: gingerbread, iris, dried apricots, candied citrus, cardamom, and graphite.
Palate
It creates a balanced profile that blends richness and vitality, featuring the lively vibrancy of the aromatic notes, the smooth depth of the texture, and the finesse of the mineral notes.
Serve
At 12-14°C

Rated estate (2026 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
Gilles and Christine founded their winery in 1990. It gradually expanded throughout the 1990s and was certified organic in 2002. As a disciple of Michel Grisard, Gilles adopted biodynamic farming practices and earned Demeter certification in 2018. The estate operates like a cooperative where everyone is committed to doing good work and making good wine. Four principles: no subsidies, soil worked with animal-drawn implements, everything done by hand, and everyone paid a fair wage. The wines are naturally expressive—more ethereal than ostentatious—with cuvées featuring iconic labels.

About the wine:
As it matures, Résilience exudes aromas of orange blossom, jasmine, mandarin, and white peach. On the palate, it combines body and structure. A superb wine with a finish reminiscent of acacia honey. The wine is a blend of grapes from all the estate’s plots, as drought caused yields to drop in 2023. The name then takes on its full meaning...
About the estate:
The son of a factory worker, Gilles Berlioz is a self-taught and happy winemaker. Trained as a landscape architect, he started out in 1990 with 0.8 hectares in the Chignin area, with the help of his partner Christine. Today he has 6.5 hectares, plowed by horse, which were converted to organic farming in 2005 and then to biodynamic farming in 2020. Anthroposophy is at the heart of the estate. Gilles Berlioz must be the only winemaker in our guide who makes decisions in the vineyard or cellar alongside his employees and who shares his workforce with two other estates… Hence the rather unique term “shared estate.” Of the three children, it is Jeanne, the youngest, who is set to take the reins. From the simple Chignin to the Mondeuse, including the exceptional Chignin-Bergeron wines vinified from single-vineyard selections, all the wines offer expressions of striking depth of flavor. The aging process is remarkably simple, with no oak. Discerning wine lovers snap up these masterfully crafted wines, which are produced in very limited quantities. The welcome at the estate is warm. An essential destination that has paved the way for an entire region and an entire generation.
