cellier des cray albinum 2017
Reference: 8867Stock: 2 (stock immediately available)
Condition: bottle in perfect condition
"savoie is in good hands if it has such brilliant winemakers as adrien berlioz. this pure savoyard, cousin of the emblematic winegrower gilles berlioz, is full of talent and desire. he lives and breathes his profession as a winemaker, full of enthusiasm and life. opinionate, careful and attentive, this self-taught winegrower has built up, since 2006, an estate on a human scale (5.5 ha) spread over a collection of 13 plots, all located in chignin. on these terroirs with clay-limestone soil, the proportion of limestone scree can vary from one plot to another and offers an ideal diversity for the expression of grape varieties such as altesse, bergeron, jacquère and chardonnay for the whites or mondeuse and persan for the reds. adrien berlioz therefore highlights each of his parcels by creating 13 distinct cuvées for each of them. as with all great winemakers, work in the vineyard is essential in the running of the estate. no great wines without great grapes. certified organic since 2012, the vines and soils are pampered to ensure a natural balance. the soils are scratched, dug up and grassed over so that the roots can penetrate deeply into the soil. yields are limited, notably by short pruning. the grapes are harvested when perfectly ripe, by hand. they then arrive at the cellar, are sorted on a sorting table and then gently pressed in a pneumatic press for the whites, destemmed or whole grapes for the reds. fermentation is carried out with indigenous yeasts, without any inputs. all the wines then undergo malolactic fermentation. the wines are then matured either in stainless steel tanks or in demi-muids. sulphur is used to a minimum. finally, the wines are bottled by gravity. from these bottles, filled with grace and purity, come deep and moving juices that are full of finesse and length to achieve infinite pleasure. this roussanne is planted on very steep slopes (70%). located on the young parcel ""le paradis"" in arbin, the soils are composed of clay and limestone scree. south/south-east exposure. the lemon colour reveals an ultra-complex nose with a bouquet that competes between fruity, floral and biscuit expressions. the development is simply fascinating. on the palate, the attack is unctuous and tonic at the same time. very well balanced, long on the palate with a persistent finish of dried fruit. potential for ageing of 10 years."
