2012 Domaine Gilles Berlioz 'Les Fripons' Chignin-Bergeron | 100% roussanne from Savoie | Supposed to be kept for ageing (as opposed to 'Les Filles' cuvée more ready to drink) but already showing beautifully

Holy mother of god. After this opens the nose is sick. Like elite northern Rhône white. One of the best noses I’ve had all year. Maybe the best fruit forward white nose. The most gorgeous yellow fruits. Crazy dense. Perfumed. Palate is terrific. Dense juicy fruits. Some perfumes internal aromatics Fresh. Well balanced. Maximally delicious. For $35ish a steal. Worth $60-$100.

Bought from fass selections.

Rich but super mineral. Deep. Dense. But not blowsy. So good. It has this dense but fresh juicy and delicious minerality. Lingering. A great wine. Roussane richness and mountain minerality. Wow.

Pleasant. Nice nose, but short finish.

Un nez aromatique sur l'amande, floral, très expressif
La bouche est mûre, large, du volume mais équilibre. Toutefois je sens un peu l'alcool
Un beau vin de repas

Vintage 2012, still young, lack of complexity so far
