"An auteur wine that will awaken your senses!
A tribute to the duo Adrien and Gilles Berlioz, his cousin, Cuvée des Gueux is like a spring breeze. We close our eyes and let ourselves be carried away by the delicate perfumes of white flowers in a pretty meadow... An intense, joyful, crisp white with a liveliness that awakens the senses. A vin d'auteur to be aerated in advance for even more flavor.

Expert opinion
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domaine rated (2024 guide) 2*Stars (These great estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, because of their consistency and the excellence of their production, must be included in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About the domain :
Adrien Berlioz, Gilles Berlioz's young cousin (and neighbor), set up business in 2006. A demanding and rigorous winemaker, he works all his vines organically (Demeter certification in 2020), including those on the steepest slopes. With 14 different cuvées on just over 5 hectares, quantities are very limited and these artisan wines are hard to find. We admire the diversity, energy and frankness of these cuvées, which are contemporary yet totally rooted in Savoyard identity, and which also age gracefully. Adrien's latest project: the reconstitution of a forgotten vineyard in Détrier, at the gateway to the Gelon valley, with four hectares of heritage grape varieties grown under pergola (bia blanc, barbin, joubertin, verdesse, mondeuse blanche and noire, altesse)! Year after year, the estate confirms its central place among the region's elite, a point of reference both for oenophiles and for young winemakers setting up in Alpine vineyards with ever-higher ambitions.
