A true jewel of the Savoie vineyards and a 3-star producer in the French wine guide RVF, Le Cellier des Cray has become a benchmark estate—elevated to the top of the region by Adrien Berlioz.

Clinging to the steep slopes of Arbin and Chignin, at the foot of the Bauges massif, he crafts dazzling wines using biodynamic methods, far removed from conventional standards.

Together with his cousin Gilles Berlioz (of Domaine Partagé), with whom he co-produces the wine Les Gueux, he is helping to shape a new elite in Savoie winemaking—placing their wines firmly at the top of the region’s hierarchy!
