What the critics say
88 WAWine Advocate, David Schildknecht, 26-04-2012
From a steep, south-facing section of the Les Chateaux vineyard, adjacent to the Chez l’Odette that births his eponymous Chignin, Berlioz’s 2010 Chignin-Bergeron Les Filles is strongly scented with musky, downright funky narcissus perfume allied with overripe apricot that then comes out on an oily and expansive palate. This is deeply colored but with healthier green hints than the corresponding Les Fripons, and any effect of botrytis is sublimated. Salt, orange zest and apricot kernel serve for invigoration and a welcome modicum of saliva-inducement in piquantly-lingering finish. But I would recommend planning to drink this within the next couple of years for fear that eventually significant outright bitterness will emerge. And certainly don’t expect finesse. It had been a considerable number of years since I last visited Gilles Berlioz. His line-up is now much longer; his bottles (incongruously) heavier; his labels cutting-edge; and his prices and reputation have risen considerably; but he is happily still the same witty yet seriously quality-conscious visionary, meticulously and organically tending a mere ten acres – albeit expanded – of vines. (Cuvee names I have not otherwise explained in my tasting notes originate with the various works of art that are those labels.) I was surprised to find his site-specific bottlings of 2010 Jacquere – for which the grapes were only picked in the second half of October – far more successful than his other wines, and indeed no one other than Jean-Claude Masson (at Domaine Jean Masson, profiled elsewhere in this report) has ever shown me a collection of wines from Jacquere more impressive than Gilles Berlioz’s 2010 trio. But I found even the two least successful wines in this collection so unusual as to justify my offering a detailed note. All of the 2010s here – white or red – were bottled in April or May.
