The Story

Scree soils, dominantly limestone earth with some clay. Steeply sloping south, south-west facing hillsides in the southern part of the Savoie. This Bergeron was born from the planting of a parcel of vines under the chapel of St-Anthelme in Chignin, which, thanks to its remarkable exposure, produces grapes that ripen beautifully in the sun. Today it is mainly the finest grapes from our ‘La Perette’ parcel, located on the south-western slope of the ‘La Savoyarde’ mountain, that make up this cuvée.

About Denis Et Didier Berthollier

Producer Story

The winery has been run since the mid-1990s by two brothers, Denis & Didier Berthollier, who come from a long winemaking tradition of growers, owners, and winemakers dating back to 1850. Denis & Didier own several parcels on the southernmost and steepest parts of the Savoie hills. Their forefathers abandoned these abrupt slopes at the beginning of the 20th century because they were too difficult to work. Denis & Didier harvest, vinify, and do the bottling themselves at their domaine. They have eliminated the use of insecticides & fungicides in all their vines and ceased the use of weedkiller since 2008, enabling grass to grow in the rocky vineyards. They use only naturally occurring, indigenous yeasts and very minimal SO2. Their wines are recognized among the purest & finest in Savoie.
