"Discreet at first, the nose opens up with aeration to fruity aromas typical of Roussanne: ripe apricot and pineapple. The palate is dense, powerful and fruity, finishing with a fine bitterness that adds extra length and dynamism. Balanced and very elegant, this aptly named Chignin Bergeron is a real treat ".
