37 Roussette de Savoie AC 2009
Gilles BerliozGrape:100% Altesse (12% alc.)
Bone dry with a touch more body than the basic Chignin, this has an intriguing nose, richness with a hint of spice (altesse is akin to the pinot gris) and lovely white fruits with good relief from acidity on the finish. For drinking now to 2014.

38 Chignin Bergeron AC 2010
Gilles BerliozGrape:100% Bergeron (12.5% alc.)
Bergeron is a synonym for the roussanne grape, and here gives an equally rich, concentrated wine with apricot/peach fruit but with more natural acidity. Fermented 100% dry and cuve aged only, it has been made from low yields, harvested in various sorties when only the ripest bunches were selected. For drinking now to 2015+.

39 Mondeuse AC 2010
Gilles BerliozGrape:100% Mondeuse (12% alc.)
A brilliant wine from 50 year old vines grown in broken up mountain scree. Harvested at almost the same yield as northern Rhône syrah (42hh) and aged in cuve, it shows the kinship between mondeuse and a Côte-Rôtiesque syrah. It is elegant, spicy, with peppery, dark fruits and a stony, mineral flavour. For drinking now to 2013+.
