Red dry
An exceptional Burgundy masterpiece from one of the most prestigious Côte de Nuits vineyards. With its unique monopole status, the vineyard belongs exclusively to Domaine Bertagna, meaning this wine is produced solely here and nowhere else.
The bouquet reveals notes of wild cherries, blackberries, and delicate floral hints, complemented by refined earthiness, subtle spice, and gentle oak nuances. On the palate, the wine is deep and medium-bodied, with an elegant acidity line, silky tannins, and concentrated fruit expression. The finish is long and mineral-driven, reminiscent of true Grand Cru benchmarks.
The ‘Pinot Noir’ grapes thrive in stony soils enriched with limestone and iron minerals. The harvest is done by hand, with careful sorting both in the vineyard and winery. After a period of cold maceration, fermentation takes place over 21–28 days with wild yeasts, followed by 15–18 months of aging in French oak barrels, about 40% of which are new.
Recommended serving temperature is 16–18 °C, pairing beautifully with duck in cherry sauce, venison loin with wild mushrooms, or aged Comté cheese.
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.
