"A Chignin Off the Beaten Path"

“Full-bodied and serene, yet understated, with a distinct acidity, the 2017 Grand Orgue follows in the footsteps of the brilliant 2016. This is a Bergeron for those who appreciate patience and fine dining. ” (The RVF Guide 2023). A brilliantly crafted Chignin Bergeron revealing subtle aromas of honeysuckle and honey. Beautiful depth with plenty of freshness and acidity, and great finesse.

Wine rated 92/100

Rated estate (2023 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

The Magnins are among the iconic figures of the Savoyard wine region. These two dedicated winemakers, who have been certified organic since 2012, decided to reduce the estate’s size to three hectares starting with the 2018 harvest. While the selection is small, both the white and red wines are truly beautiful.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 90/100

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

Full-bodied and serene, yet still understated, with a distinct acidity, the 2017 Grand Orgue follows in the footsteps of the brilliant 2016 vintage. This is a Bergeron wine for those who appreciate patience and fine dining.

About the estate:

This artisanal estate has played a pivotal role in the contemporary history of the Savoyard vineyards. Although the area under cultivation has decreased, meticulous work—both in the vineyard and in the cellar—allows Louis Magnin to achieve exceptional expression in both reds and whites. A perfectionist, he demonstrates a consistency across his various vintages that few producers in this region can match. Less opulent than in the past, the whites emphasize mineral intensity. Among the Mondeuses—flamboyant but meant for aging—we continue to prefer (often, though not this year!) the cuvées aged in tanks over those aged in barrels.
