Description

This is Berthenet’s most full-bodied style, with ample fresh stone fruit, a hint of golden apple and a touch of hazelnut. The vineyard sits right at the top of the Côte Chalonnaise, giving the wine a vibrantly charged acidity and a round, plush texture. As with his other cuvées, the élevage is carefully curated. Here, the wine is aged entirely in (30% new) demi-muids before being moved to stainless steel tanks – ensuring the wine remains vivacious and reflects its terroir. The finish is resplendent with a rich spiciness and a piquancy of flint.

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 16/20
From reddish soils rich in iron oxide. Aged entirely in demi-muids (30% new) for 12 months, then tank for another 12.Light nose. Sweet fruit but without Cote d'Or savour. The previous wine (Dom Denis Carré, Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Chardonnay 2020) seems better value.Drink 2023 - 2026jancis_robinson_mw MW, JancisRobinson.com (September 2023)
