Vineyards
The vineyard’s soil consists of stony, reddish-brown limestone with a touch of iron oxide, lending a distinct mineral edge to the wine. Planted between 1924 and 1997, the vines draw from these rich soils, expressing the unique terroir of this iconic region.
Winemaking
This vintage is vinified from 100% Pinot Noir, hand-harvested and carefully selected for optimal ripeness. The wine matures in a mix of stainless steel and oak, with up to 25% aged in 300-litre French oak barrels (primarily second and third fill) for six months, allowing gentle oak integration without overpowering the fruit character.
Appearance
Deep ruby red with a vibrant clarity.
Nose
Aromas of sweet red berries, such as cherry and raspberry, are complemented by subtle hints of savoury spice and earth, characteristic of classic Pommard wines.
Palate
On the palate, the wine is warm and rounded, with fine, well-structured tannins that create a long, elegant finish. The minerality from the vineyard’s limestone-rich soil combines harmoniously with the fruit, adding complexity to this vintage’s refined profile.
Food pairing
Perfect with hearty dishes like braised beef, duck, or spiced lamb dishes, as well as earthy vegetable-based dishes.
Background
Domaine Berthelemot was established in 2006, bringing together carefully tended plots across Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. With a dedication to preserving vineyard health, the domaine works sustainably, and using organic methods.
