2023 Adrien Berlioz 'Raipoumpou'

Place: Savoie, France

Variety: Roussanne

Farming: Biodynamic

Adrien Berlioz is one of the leading growers of Savoie, farming steep alpine vineyards around Chignin organically and biodynamically. Working with native varieties and a thoughtful, low-intervention approach, his wines combine mountain freshness and minerality with remarkable depth and texture.

Raipoumpou is 100% Roussanne, known locally as Bergeron, grown on limestone-rich soils. Ripe pear and apricot are layered with white flowers, gentle spice and fresh herbs. Generous and silky through the palate, bright acidity and a fine mineral line bring freshness and tension through a long, savoury finish.
