WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine Louis Magnin Chignin Bergeron hails from the mountainous Savoie region located in the east of France. This wine is produced using the Roussanne grape variety, known locally as Bergeron de Savoie. The vineyards that supply this wine are planted on steep slopes within the confines of Montmélian, meaning only a manual harvest is possible. On arrival at the winery, the grapes are pressed whole into the tank for the alcoholic fermentation to commence. The wine is matured on its fine lies in stainless steel until bottling.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Domaine Louis Magnin Chignin Bergeron reveals a medium golden color on pouring.On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of ripe stone fruits such as apricot and peach, along with floral notes of honeysuckle and acacia. There is also a subtle hint of honey and spice, that accompany the fruit aromas. On the palate, this wine is medium-bodied with a round texture and firm acidity that keeps the wine fresh and vibrant. The flavors mirror the aromas, with pronounced notes of apricot, peach, and honey. There is a touch of minerality that adds complexity and a long, lingering finish.
