White dry
Unveil the elegant Domaine Bertagna Bourgogne Blanc Les Croix Blanches 2022, a charming white Burgundy that radiantly showcases its Côte de Nuits origins. This wine, crafted from Chardonnay grapes grown on clay-limestone soils in Nuits-Saint-Georges, displays a bright golden-yellow color.
On the nose, you'll discover enticing aromas of fresh white fruit and dried fruit, inviting you further into the glass. The palate is soft and fruity, delivering a long and juicy persistence that lingers delightfully.
Harvested by hand into 20 kg crates, the grapes undergo careful selection both in the vineyard and at the cellar. Following a gentle pressing of whole bunches, there's a two-day cold maceration before alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel. The wine then ages for 10 to 12 months, with 40% in oak barrels and 60% in steel, ensuring a harmonious balance and refined character.
Serve 10°C - 12°C with pan-seared scallops in lemon butter, roasted chicken with herbs and root vegetables, or a goat cheese tart with caramelized onions.
Located in the commune of Vougeot within France’s renowned Burgundy region, the historic Domaine Bertagna boasts vineyards with a storied past, once belonging to the Cistercian monks of the nearby Abbey of Cîteaux, who famously founded Clos de Vougeot in the 12th century. The modern narrative of the Bertagna estate has been beautifully shaped by the fifth-generation winemaking Reh family.
While the extended Reh family owns several winemaking ventures globally, including Germany’s renowned Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt, their footprint in Burgundy has steadily grown since 1954. Gunther Reh acquired Domaine Bertagna in 1982, and his dynamic daughter, Eva Reh, took over management of the estate in 1988.
Wine Style
Under Eva's direction, Domaine Bertagna has placed significant emphasis on fermentation technologies and modern vineyard management. Her winemaking philosophy highlights terroir expression, purity of fruit, intense aromatics, elegance, longevity, and subtle oak influence. These are precise Burgundy wines that beautifully articulate a classic style.
Prestigious Vineyards
Domaine Bertagna cultivates vineyards across 18 different appellations within Burgundy’s highly regarded Côte de Nuits region, with 12 of these being Premiers and Grands Crus. This quality and diversity have solidified the estate’s place among the top echelon of Burgundian domaines.
Aging and Enjoyment Period
Eva’s efforts have been abundantly rewarded with numerous 90+ point ratings from leading U.S. wine industry publications. While the acclaim is gratifying, Eva’s focus remains on crafting exceptional wines that offer the purest possible expression of their origin – the hallmark of a forward-thinking leader with the highest quality standards. These wines boast not only excellent current quality but also significant aging potential.
