Domaine Bertagna

Domaine Bertagna is a Burgundy wine estate located in the Côte de Nuits, in Vougeot, a stone's throw from the famous Château du Clos de Vougeot. On 17 hectares it produces wines from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in regional appellations, villages, premiers crus and grands crus.

Here the notion of terroir has ancient roots: it was the Cistercian monks, founders of the Clos de Vougeot in the 12th century, who brought to light the geological diversity, the soils and the climate that still define Burgundy wines today.

For the estate, everything begins in the vineyard, with a philosophy that respects the terroir and is based on a reasoned, eco-friendly approach, following the rhythm of the seasons from winter pruning to soil work through to harvest. The harvest is manual and the grapes are picked at perfect ripeness.

In the cellar the fruit is handled with great respect: rigorous selection, the right amount of punch-downs to extract color, aromas and tannins, and careful attention to indigenous microorganisms. Each cru matures in 228-liter Burgundian French oak barrels, with a share of new oak from 30 to 100% according to the appellation and the vintage, for 12–18 months.

Authenticity and purity of the appellations are the common thread running through every cuvée of Domaine Bertagna.
