Gilles Berlioz 'Cricri' Chignin 2023

Named for Christine: whole bunch Jacquére fermented with native yeast and raised in a mix of fiberglass eggs and amphora.

Gilles and Christine Berloiz established Domaine Partagé; where already in the 1990s they practiced organic (and now, biodynamic) farming. From the start, Gilles and Christine have leaned into natural winemaking techniques – particularly his clever (but in Gilles' mind, common sense) use of fiberglass eggs laid on their sides (as they are in nature!) for gentle lees movement during élevage. Minimal sulfur is used, as well.
