Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet Gevrey-Chambertin 2024

Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet: the renaissance of Fixin

Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet is now one of the most important benchmarks of Burgundy's new generation. Led by Amélie Berthaut, a representative of the seventh generation of the family in Fixin, the domaine was born from the union of the Berthaut and Gerbet families' vineyard holdings, currently bringing together around 16 hectares spread across some of the most prestigious communes of the Côte de Nuits.

Despite owning plots in Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, and Vosne-Romanée, the heart of the project remains in Fixin. Through sustainable viticulture, inspired by organic principles and a deep respect for the terroirs, Amélie Berthaut has been one of the key figures in restoring the prestige of this appellation.

The domaine's philosophy is based on minimal intervention, spontaneous fermentation, delicate extractions, moderate use of oak, and a constant pursuit of fruit purity and expression of the soils.

Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet Gevrey-Chambertin 2024

Gevrey-Chambertin is one of the most emblematic communes of the Côte de Nuits. This 2024, from Amélie Berthaut, comes from a half-hectare plot called Combe de Dessus, located below the Clos des Chezeaux, which in turn is below Cazetiers, two of the village's best-known Premier Crus.

The grapes are fully destemmed and the wine is aged in oak barrels, with around 20% new oak, which preserves the fruit and lets the terroir speak. A Pinot Noir with red fruit, supple on the palate and with the typical structure of Gevrey.
