Made from a selective parcel of vines cultivated on terraces, this cuvée expresses a rare identity. The spectacular relief of the slopes, the limestone nature of the soils, and the alpine thermal amplitudes shape a deep, ample, and remarkably balanced wine. Domaine André & Michel Quenard has been working for several generations to reveal the authenticity of Savoy terroirs with precision and sensitivity.

An emblematic cuvée from the Torméry slopes

The secret of Chignin Bergeron Les Terrasses lies in its origin. The vines take root on the famous Torméry slope, a spectacular vineyard located between 350 and 420 meters in altitude. The steep slopes, sometimes exceeding 50%, require predominantly manual labor. This demanding viticulture allows for grapes with great aromatic concentration.

The Roussanne grape, locally known as Bergeron, finds here an exceptional expression ground. The soils composed of limestone scree provide tension and finesse, while the sunny exposure favors optimal ripeness of the grapes. On the palate, this translates into a Savoy white that is ample, vibrant, and marked by a beautiful mineral freshness.

Chignin Bergeron Les Terrasses and its refined aromatic profile

At first glance, the wine displays a golden hue with luminous reflections. The nose is generous, complex, and expressive. Aromas of ripe apricot, mango, and yellow-fleshed fruits mingle with delicate floral notes reminiscent of acacia and lilac. With aeration, more subtle notes of dried fruits and warm stone further enrich the bouquet.

On the palate, the balance is immediately impressive. The attack is clear, then the wine unfolds with an ample and silky texture, never losing its dynamism. The natural richness of Roussanne perfectly matches a saline and mineral framework that brings relief and length. The finish, persistent and slightly lemony, leaves a remarkable sensation of freshness.

This white wine from Savoy thus has a true personality: generous without heaviness, expressive without excess, powerful yet always digestible.
