The Story
The morning mists, swept away by the first rays of sunshine by natural ventilation, encourage the development of "noble rot" at more or less significant gradients depending on the year.
This is not necessarily the desired goal, because it is not a question of developing a sweet profile, but this phenomenon of noble rot, even barely developed at the time of the harvest, is enough to fertilize a certain type of yeast. It is most certainly the elements of the wine derived from these yeasts which, after a more or less long aging time, reveal themselves and synthesize these candied and tertiary notes specific to this Rousette Baron Decouz cuvée. - Denis and Didier Berthollier
About Denis Et Didier Berthollier
Producer Story
The winery has been run since the mid-1990s by two brothers, Denis & Didier Berthollier, who come from a long winemaking tradition of growers, owners, and winemakers dating back to 1850. Denis & Didier own several parcels on the southernmost and steepest parts of the Savoie hills. Their forefathers abandoned these abrupt slopes at the beginning of the 20th century because they were too difficult to work. Denis & Didier harvest, vinify, and do the bottling themselves at their domaine. They have eliminated the use of insecticides & fungicides in all their vines and ceased the use of weedkiller since 2008, enabling grass to grow in the rocky vineyards. They use only naturally occurring, indigenous yeasts and very minimal SO2. Their wines are recognized among the purest & finest in Savoie.
