Winemaker Notes
Floral and feminine with discrete tannins that represent a velvet and elegant style, luscious and palate caressing. This wine is a wonderful companion for roasted poultry, game dishes, veal, grilled vegetables in sauce, and a variety of cheeses.

Violet, black currant and cherry aromas and flavors are the hallmarks of this fluid yet firmly structured red. Balanced on the lean, athletic side, with a long, stony finish. A hint of orange peel makes this distinctive. Best from 2017 through 2028. 40 cases imported.

With 18 wonderfully diverse appellations across the region, 12 of which are Premier and Grand crus, Bertagna is among the top ranking Domaines in Burgundy. A desire for perfection and emphasis on quality, coupled with significant investments in technology and vineyard management, result in some of the region’s most compelling wines. Domaine Bertagna is perhaps best known for its elegant, silky red wines, but it also produces one of the world’s rarest white wines – Vougeot 1er Cru Blanc “Les Cras” from the Côtes de Nuits.
The historic Domaine Bertagna once belonged to the Cistercian monks, famous for founding the Clos de Vougeot in the 13th century. The estate’s cellars and vineyards are still located in the heart of the village nearby the Chateau and its ancient Chapter House, but the winery is owned since 1985 by the world-renowned Reh family and managed by Eva Reh.
Eva Reh has managed the estate since 1982. Extraordinary investments have been made in fermentation technology and the vineyards’ management since the Reh family has taken charge of the domaine, and the winemaking has improved dramatically, emphasizing purity of fruit and expression of the specific terroirs that they carefully cultivate.
