Domaine Bertagna is a historic Burgundy estate located in the village of Vougeot, in the Côte de Nuits, next to the renowned Château du Clos de Vougeot. Since 1982, the domaine has been owned by the German Reh family, whose long-standing winemaking experience is combined with a deep respect for Burgundian tradition. Today, Domaine Bertagna produces an extensive range of Premier Cru and Grand Cru wines, with a focus on precise terroir expression, varietal purity, and ageing potential.
The history of Vougeot is closely linked to the Cistercian monks of the Abbey of Cîteaux, who helped shape Burgundy's terroir identity as early as the 12th century. Although Domaine Bertagna took its present form much later, it has been developed by the Reh family since 1982. In 1988, Eva Reh assumed responsibility for the estate, preserving its classical Burgundian style while modernising vineyard management and cellar practices.
The vineyards are farmed according to sustainable, environmentally conscious principles. Grapes are harvested by hand, only fully ripe fruit is selected, and fermentation is carried out with the aim of preserving the natural microbiological balance and faithfully expressing the character of each appellation.

Each appellation is vinified and aged separately in traditional 228-litre French oak barrels. The proportion of new oak is adapted to each wine and vintage, while maturation generally lasts between 12 and 18 months to preserve the balance between fruit, structure, and terroir.
Domaine Bertagna owns approximately 17 hectares of vineyards and produces wines from 18 appellations, including 5 Grand Cru and 8 Premier Cru sites. The vineyards extend across Côte de Nuits and part of Côte de Beaune, from Gevrey-Chambertin in the north to Aloxe-Corton in the south. Among the estate's most important holdings are Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru, Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Chambertin Grand Cru, and the monopole Clos de la Perrière Premier Cru in Vougeot.
The diversity of limestone and clay soils allows each appellation to express its individual identity, making Domaine Bertagna wines a faithful reflection of their origin rather than of winemaking technique.
