They blended all the Roussanne into this super cuvée as it was a difficult vintage. But man is this wine not difficult. It’s freaking outrageous. Honeycomb, melon, exotic cardamom and clove spices. Just knockout aromas. Palate is top .01% finesse. Just the best. No one makes Roussanne like Gilles. Juicy, nimble and dense with that classic bitter backend. Just so pure. Great wine. — 4 months ago

"Bibi", vin de Savoie ( Gamay & Mondeuse) by Gilles Berlioz ( Domaine Partagé). This small 6 hectares estate produces excellent wines, but they don't come cheap.This entry level has so much flavour with only 11,5 % alcohol. A delightful drinking wine. — 3 years ago

100% Roussanne.

Nose...If I ever had a white that I could tell you was "oily" this is that wine. Caramelized honey, pear, guava and wet clay.

Palate is hazelnut butter, macerated pear, over-ripe apricot. F...this is an amazing bottle, I don't happen across Roussanne like this everyday, or like ever! — 8 years ago

Huge nose of wet earth, hay, nutty, amazing acidity and lush mouthfeel. Length is astonishing here. Juicy and such tension. So pure and such stunning inner mouth tension. — 10 years ago

Nose of intense alpine minerality. White flowers. Custard. Hint of medicinal quality. More like an apothecary. Not bad medicinal if that is not clear. Clean and way batter than my last bottle’s aromas. Palate is juicy and clean, long and tense. Really long. Terrific elegance and purity. Nice spice. Balanced and very pure. Exotic tropical fruits. @Delectable Wine this is roussanne not Jacquere. — 6 years ago

Interesting blend. Nice enough. I still think it is Gilles Berlioz/Domaine Belluard then there is a significant drop off to level below. — 10 years ago
