What reviewers say
“To me this is way more interesting than Sauternes (gasp). There’s some of that honey explosion going on but there’s also melon apple and berries going on. Top it off with an affordable price point and this has become my go to dessert wine.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
From Pacherenc du Vic-Bilh in France, Domaine Berthoumieu Symphonie d'Automne Pacherenc du Vic Bilh is a dessert wine.
Only 35 of its Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 36 reviewers with at least two ratings feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 422 other dessert wines from France, not against the corpus as a whole.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.

- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 35.
