Now In Stock | Berthaut Gerbet | "Worth Searching Out"

This Fixin reference point exploded onto the scene almost a decade ago, when the talented Amélie Berthaut united the vineyards of the Domaine Denis Berthaut on her father's side and Domaine Francois Gerbet on her mother's. Today, the domaine encompasses some 16-hectares, with Amélie's husband, Nicolas Faure, overseeing the vineyards and largely working under organic practices. In the winery, Amélie emphasizes suavity and perfume through increasing percentages of whole-clusters in combination with less extraction and tannin.

Together these two have formed a team that points to Fixin's first Grand Domaine. Long gone are the days of this appellation being overlooked with these two proving the quality it has always possessed!

2023 Domaine Berthaut Gerbet Fixin En Combe Roy
JM91-93 (5 Stars), VM90-92, WA89-91, BH89 (Outstanding Top Value)
"Once again the expressive nose is bright and airy with similar dark berry fruit and earth notes though here there is just enough wood to notice in evidence. The freshness continues onto the agreeably intense middle weight flavors that exude a lovely bead of minerality on the youthfully austere but less rustic finale. This is a very good Fixin villages and worth your interest."

2023 Domaine Berthaut Gerbet Vosne-Romanée
JM91, BH90 (Outstanding), VM90-92, WA89-91
"A wonderfully spicy nose freely proffers its aromas of various dark berries, violet and exotic jasmine tea. The gorgeously textured, even velvety, medium-bodied flavors are at once succulent but punchy while delivering fine length on the bitter pit fruit-inflected finish. This balanced effort could also use better depth so again, some patience should prove to be beneficial. In short, this is an excellent Vosne villages."

2023 Domaine Berthaut Gerbet Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Plantes
NR, CT93.3
Note: .25-hectare parcel planted between 1950-1985. 30-40% whole-cluster fermentation, followed by 15-18 month élevage in 20% new french oak.

2023 Domaine Berthaut Gerbet Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Lavaux Saint-Jacques
VM92-94, BH91-93 (Outstanding), WA91-93
"The 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaut Saint-Jacques 1er Cru comprises three barrels this year, "huge" according to Amélie Berthaut, who often has just one. This is one of the only cuvées that includes stems (50%), so it has a different aromatic profile—much more peppery with hints of clove. The palate is well balanced with silky tannins and a lovely fleshy mouthfeel. Lightly spiced dark red fruit leads to a seductive, sweet finish that nods to Vosne-Romanée. This is an exquisitely crafted Lavaut Saint-Jacques."

2023 Domaine Berthaut Gerbet Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots
VM92-94, WA92-94, JM91-94, BH91-93 (Outstanding)
"The 2023 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots has turned out beautifully, delivering notes of blood orange, rose petals and sweet red berries, followed by a medium to full-bodied, supple and ultra-refined palate, concluding with a saline finish. The domaine's Vosne and Flagey terroirs are really beginning to show their potential."
-William Kelley

2023 Domaine Berthaut Gerbet Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru
JM93-96, VM93-95, BH91-94, WA91-93
"The 2023 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru offers a more complex bouquet than the 2022, articulating the terroir with greater panache and featuring wonderful red berry fruit, wild hedgerow and light touches of desiccated orange peel. The palate is medium-bodied with a sweet, luscious entry, smooth tannins and flavors of mulberry mixed with black cherries and cola, leading to a generous, slightly confit-like finish.
Drink it over the next couple of decades."
-Neal Martin

2023 Domaine Berthaut Gerbet Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Petits Monts
VM93-95, JM93-95, WA91-93, BH90-93 (Outstanding)
"The 2023 Vosne-Romanée Les Petits-Monts 1er Cru was due for racking and so understandably it is a little sultry on the nose, more introspective than it will be after bottling. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe and succulent dark berry fruit laced with graphite and orange rind. More structured than Les Suchots with more weight toward the finish, this is an sophisticated Petit-Monts that will give 15 to 20 years' drinking pleasure."
-Neal Martin

2023 Domaine Berthaut Gerbet Echezeaux Grand Cru
JM94-96, VM93-95, BH92-95, WA92-94
"Picked first, so 60% whole bunches were included before Amélie realised that this wouldn’t work for space reasons. Paler ruby with a more orange tint. The whole bunches give their characteristic aromatics. Very stylish elegant wine, a little crushed alpine strawberry, not too peppery, with a long savoury finish. Amélie noted that she likes to use whole bunches for aromatic reasons rather than tannins and structure. Drink from 2030-2038."
-Jasper Morris
