Soft pear and apricot notes, lovely opulent texture matched with balancing acidity in its long finish. Domaine des Bérioles is a leading and exciting domaine in St-Pourçain. The domaine started life in 1976 when Olivier Teissèdre bought the farm in the little village of Cesset to the west of the town of St-Pourcain. Initially Olivier grew cereals. However, in 1989 his wife Odile, decided to diversify and planted some vines. In 2011 their son Jean joined and started to vinify the grapes and sell the wine. In 2015 Sophie, Jean’s sister, and her husband Jérôme also joined. The domaine now has 17ha of vines. Tressallier is the local name for the Sacy grape, named after a village in Champagne. Cuvée Autochtone is a selection of the domaine’s best parcels of Tressallier. It is vinified and aged in 500-litre barrels for 12 months and is labelled IGP Val de Loire, because 100% Tressallier is not permitted in the St-Pourçain appellation rules.
