A rich and sunny vintage, with lots of ripe stone fruits. Balanced by lovely acidity and beautifully integrated use of oak, with a long smooth finish with notes of vanilla.
As the grapes mature a little late in this location, they are generally picked at the end of the harvesting period; when young, the wine is first dry and long in the mouth and then gains in elegance with age. The nose is complex with citrus fruit and mineral aromas.
Even though the history of Domaine Berthelemot is relatively recent, the family’s character is what the winery is built off of. Brigitte Berthelemot, who founded the estate in 2006, draws inspiration from one of her uncles, a winemaker in Mâconnais, and her father, who was passionate about plants, soil, and subsoil. Her son, Thomas Berthelemot, who joined the estate in 2017, brings a new dynamic to the winery. What a journey it has been for this innovative estate, that consistently produces wines of great elegance.
