“The elegance of Savoie”

In the 15th century, the Dukes of Savoy divided up the steepest slopes among themselves to cultivate the finest local grape varieties. In Chignin, Bergeron has its favorite terroir: the Torméry hillside, renowned for the quality of its wines. This Chignin-Bergeron boasts a golden-yellow hue and offers aromas of linden blossom, yellow fruit, and quince. On the palate, it is rich and briny, with a harmonious freshness.
