The TOP winemakers of Burgundy

The history of Domaine Bertagna

The estate’s land once belonged to the Cistercian monks, famed for founding the Clos de Vougeot in the 12th century. Through repeated work in the vineyards, meticulous separation of parcels and constant attention to variations in soil, slope and drainage, they laid the foundations for Burgundy’s hierarchy of climats. The estate’s cellars and vineyards remain in the heart of the village today, immediately beside the château and its former chapter-house cellar.

The modern story begins with Claude Bertagna. The owner of 200 hectares of vineyards near Bône, Algeria, he left the country in the early 1960s and acquired Domaine Georges et Lucien Berthon in Vougeot, giving it his name. In 1982, the property was sold to Günther Reh, a major sparkling-wine producer from Germany’s Mosel region based in Rhineland-Palatinate. Since 1988, his daughter Eva Reh-Siddle has run the estate and shaped it into what it is today, with a constant pursuit of perfection and significant investment in technology and vineyard management. In the cellar, Claire Forestier established a highly precise style, later continued by Denis Rozat. The wines regularly win awards; notably, the monopole Clos de la Perrière received two stars and a Coup de Cœur in the Guide Hachette des Vins.

The terroirs and vineyards of Domaine Bertagna

The estate cultivates around twenty hectares, mostly planted with Pinot Noir. The remainder is devoted to Chardonnay and divided among Vougeot 1er Cru Les Cras, Vougeot Le Village and a parcel of Corton-Charlemagne. Its center of gravity remains Vougeot, with Clos de la Perrière, Les Cras, Les Petits Vougeots and Clos de Vougeot. Its reach then extends to Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Morey-Saint-Denis and Gevrey-Chambertin, as far as Corton and Corton-Charlemagne in the Côte de Beaune.

Each climat has its own identity. Clos de la Perrière, a 2-hectare, 15-are, 80-centiare monopole between the Clos de Vougeot grand cru and Musigny, lies on well-drained, stony soil: stones taken from it were used to build the château that stands a few hundred meters away. Les Murgers, in Nuits-Saint-Georges, has deep mineral soils mixed with limestone, midway up the slope toward Vosne-Romanée. Planting density reaches 10,000 vines per hectare, trained using Guyot pruning. The soils are farmed organically, without synthetic products, and yields are strictly controlled through rigorous bud removal and green harvesting during the growing season. The estate’s strength lies precisely in its ability to manage numerous small sites without ever making their wines taste alike.

Winemaking at Domaine Bertagna

The grapes are harvested by hand into small crates and sorted both in the vineyard and on a sorting table at the winery, so that only perfectly healthy berries are kept. Depending on the cuvée, a proportion of whole clusters is retained—around 35% for Clos de la Perrière—adding aromatic complexity and tension. Cold pre-fermentation maceration precedes fermentation, which relies exclusively on the grapes’ indigenous yeasts.

Winemaking is slow and gentle in temperature-controlled tanks, with extraction achieved through manual punch-downs and long macerations of 21 to 28 days. Malolactic fermentation then takes place in barrels. Depending on the appellation, the wines are aged for twelve to eighteen months in French oak barrels, with the proportion of new oak carefully adjusted—from around 25% for the premiers crus to 50% for Clos de la Perrière. This patient approach produces highly elegant wines with fine, silky tannins, good aging potential and a character true to each terroir.

The wines of Domaine Bertagna

Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits “Les Dames Huguettes” red: from the high-altitude slopes overlooking the Côte de Nuits, this Pinot Noir emphasizes freshness and crisp red fruit. Supple, easy-drinking and aromatic, it offers an ideal, very affordable introduction to the estate’s style.

Vougeot Le Village red: a village-level cuvée from the estate’s home village, grown on the clay-limestone terroirs surrounding the Clos de Vougeot. It offers an elegant, aromatic Pinot Noir with cherry, raspberry and a hint of spice, fine tannins and a long finish. Excellent value from a little-known appellation.

Chambolle-Musigny Le Village: the most delicate village of the Côte de Nuits, from which the estate makes a wine of exquisite finesse. Rose, violet and fresh red fruit create a refined nose, while the palate is silky, airy and perfectly balanced. A classic, charming expression of Chambolle.

Vougeot 1er Cru “Les Petits Vougeots”: situated above the Clos de Vougeot, this climat produces a forthright, well-defined wine with black fruit and sweet spice. The structure is firm but not excessive, and the mineral finish is persistent. One of the most approachable premiers crus in the range.

Vougeot 1er Cru “Les Cras” red: planted on stony, well-drained soils, this prestigious climat produces a dense, distinguished Pinot Noir. Layers of black fruit, forest floor and spice rest on an elegant tannic structure, with fine depth and genuine aging potential.

Vougeot 1er Cru “Clos de la Perrière” Monopole: the estate’s flagship, a 2-hectare, 15-are, 80-centiare monopole between the Clos de Vougeot grand cru and Musigny, on well-drained, stony soil. Made with 35% whole clusters and aged for sixteen to eighteen months in French oak barrels, 50% of them new. Elegant, fine and delicate, it opens with aromas of black fruit, truffle and spice before revealing an intense palate with hints of toasted almond and forest floor, underpinned by attractive minerality. Fine, silky tannins make it particularly enjoyable. A premier cru often compared with neighboring grands crus for its added elegance.

Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru “Les Plantes”: this climat takes the estate into a village associated with aromatic finesse and exceptionally fine-grained tannins. The wine charms with its luscious red fruit, generous texture and fine length, offering balance and immediate appeal.

Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru “Les Amoureuses”: Chambolle’s most legendary climat, considered by many worthy of grand cru status. Rare and highly sought-after, it combines remarkable depth with an almost otherworldly delicacy of texture, notes of rose, violet and small red berries, and an exceptionally long finish.

Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru “Les Beaux Monts”: one of the most coveted premier cru sites in the Côte de Nuits, high on the slope. Here the wine gains complexity and depth, with dense yet vibrant fruit, velvety tannins and acidity that gives the whole structure. A distinguished, spicy Pinot Noir built to age.

Nuits-Saint-Georges 1er Cru “Les Murgers”: situated midway up the slope toward Vosne-Romanée, on deep mineral soils mixed with limestone. Fermented with indigenous yeasts, manually punched down and left on the skins for 21 to 28 days, it is aged for twelve to fifteen months in French oak barrels, 25% of them new. The nose is delicate, with red berries; the palate is intense, full and round, with pronounced tannins true to the terroir’s style.

Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru: the largest historic walled vineyard in the Côte de Nuits, founded by Cistercian monks and immediately adjacent to the estate’s cellars. It produces a full-bodied, majestic wine with refined tannins and dense texture, combining blackcurrant, spice and leather notes with remarkable length and exceptional aging potential.

Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru: this Morey-Saint-Denis grand cru is perhaps the most ethereal wine in the collection. It reveals an added dimension from the mid-palate onward, with outstanding length and balance, and floral, delicately spicy notes that call for a few years in the cellar.

Chambertin Grand Cru: the king of Gevrey wines and the pinnacle of the range. Powerful and profound, it combines an aristocratic tannic structure with aromas of black fruit, spice and forest floor, and an almost endless finish. A wine for very long aging, produced in extremely limited quantities.

Corton Grand Cru “Les Grandes Lolières”: the estate’s venture into the Côte de Beaune, on the Côte’s only red grand cru. This climat on the Ladoix-Serrigny side produces a structured, generous wine with ripe black fruit, spicy notes and a firm tannic backbone that calls for patience.

Bourgogne Chardonnay “Les Croix Blanches”: this regional white emphasizes freshness and precision, with citrus, white flowers and green apple. Supple and easy-drinking, it perfectly illustrates how Chardonnay expresses itself on Burgundy’s limestone soils.

Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Chardonnay: from high-altitude slopes, it benefits from pronounced natural freshness. The nose combines pear, white flowers and almond, while the palate remains lively and saline, with a clean, refreshing finish.

Vougeot Le Village white: a true rarity, white wine accounts for a tiny share of the Vougeot appellation. It offers a range of white fruit, hazelnut and citrus flavors, with a full, textured palate supported by elegant limestone minerality.

Vougeot 1er Cru “Les Cras” white: one of the world’s rarest white wines, produced from a tiny Chardonnay parcel in the heart of the Côte de Nuits. Powerful, full-bodied and rich, it brings together ripe white fruit, brioche, toasted almond and remarkable mineral tension, with a length that places it among Burgundy’s great whites.

Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru: the estate’s finest white, born on the limestone slopes of the Corton hill. It combines restrained power and deep saline minerality with ripe white fruit, sweet spices and candied citrus. Its structure and tension give it exceptional aging potential; after several years of patience, open it with fine fish or a festive poultry dish.
