Red dry
Red Wine – 100 % Pinot Noir
An authentic expression of Vougeot’s terroir, this cuvée is crafted just steps from the Domaine itself — a rare and intimate reflection of a historic Burgundian village. With careful vineyard management, natural fermentation, and extended aging, the 2022 vintage offers elegance, depth, and undeniable charm.
The wine opens with clean aromas of small red berries, humus, and a subtle touch of liquorice. On the palate, it is well-structured, dense, and fluid, combining finesse with savory depth. Fine tannins and a balanced core make it both approachable and age-worthy.
The vineyard lies just below the village of Vougeot, in soils composed of limestone rock and marly, mineral-rich clays. This composition ensures excellent drainage and contributes to the wine’s purity and aromatic precision. The grapes are harvested by hand, carefully sorted in both the vineyard and the cellar to ensure only the best fruit is vinified.
Only natural yeasts are used. After cold maceration, the wine ferments in tanks for 21 to 28 days with manual punch-downs. Aging lasts 15 to 18 months in French oak barrels, a portion of which are new, adding texture and aromatic complexity while preserving the expression of terroir.
Serve at 16–18 °C. Pairs beautifully with duck breast in cherry sauce – the fruit notes echo the wine’s profile. Also excellent with roast guinea fowl or wild mushroom risotto, both of which complement its earthiness and balance.
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.
