This is particularly pretty on the nose with scents of fresh raspberry, black cherry, dried flowers and stony minerality. The palate is at this stage coy and firmly structured but, with additional cellar time, will soften and express the concentrated fruit that lies beneath.

Producer Information

Domaine Bertheau is a Burgundy wine producer based in the Cte de Nuits village (and appellation) of Chambolle-Musigny. The domaine is best known for its impressive vineyard holdings, including plots in the Bonnes Mares Grand Cru vineyard and in some of the area’s more prominent premier cru vineyards, including Les Amoureuses and Les Charmes. Altogether, Bertheau produces around 1250 cases annually from these holdings, under the grand cru, premier cru and village appellations. The vines in the top vineyards are on average 45 years old and are planted mainly on classic, clay-limestone soils. Owner and winemaker Franois Bertheau (the domaine is sometimes referred to as Domaine Franois Bertheau) takes a hands-off approach to winemaking. He uses very little new wood, racks only when necessary, and leaves his wines in barrel to develop slowly over 18 months.
