Domaine Gilles Berlioz
Mon Ami! Roussane
The entry level Roussane at Berlioz. Hay, yellow fruits, huge minerals, wood dust, sweat, humus, complex as all hell. Palate is juicy oh so juicy, with slippery and sliding fruit and wonderful viscous texture and dazzling purity. Terrific wine. Really in an amazing place now. Perfect acid and freshness.

Dec 13th, 2019Lovely nose. Hay, richness, gras, lemon butter, rich tropical fruits, white flowers, citrus oil, insanely complex. Lanolin, mint, brilliant. Palate is ripe and rich with brilliant structure and fruit complexity. Very pure and deep. Balance. Freshness from the flowers, minerals and fruit and less than from the acid. Wonderful.

2 people found it helpfulMar 14th, 2015Wow. So ripe compared to the 14 aromatically. Apricot and peaches along with hay and alpine goodness that makes Roussanne from Chignin so special. Palate is ripe and generous with lovely fruit and an explosiveness to it that is so good. Juicy and nice acids, but not like those 14 acids and terrific vivid minerals on the the finish, which is longer than one thinks. Startling entry level here. It gets much better after 1 hour.

Jun 18th, 2017Love these wines. Just delicious passion fruit. Some richness but not over the top. Lingering tropical fruit on the lips. One really should drink at least one of these a month. It’s that good and that different. Life is good. Bought from Fass Selections.
