Just filtered so harder to read today. Slightly wonky on the nose - but good shoulders and drive on the palate. Nice fruit too. Good red clay here - near the lower slope of Morgeot.. just a bit more of everything - good textbook stuff. Drinking range: 2028 - 2033 L&S (Nov 2025)

Cask sample. Utterly inviting, with an impression of creamy depths as well as great freshness. Excellent Chassagne – intense, precise and long. Drinking range: 2028 - 2035 Rating: 17 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2026)

Not yet in bottle. Mid lemon yellow. A certain Morgeot weight on the nose, following through on the palate, with impressive tension, then follows through a little too much on the oak. This may integrate better with more age. Drinking range: 2029 - 2035 Rating: 90-91 Jasper Morris - Inside Burgundy  (Oct 2025)

Domaine Berthelemot

Domaine Berthelemot is the creation of Brigitte Berthelemot, who is, by all accounts, something of a tour de force. Brigitte has, in a very short space of time (starting in 2006), knocked together a domaine of 15 hectares, spread over 45 parcels.

The basis of this spread was Domaine Garaudet in Pommard, but then they also took over Domaine Allexant. Charles Allexant was a bouilleur de cru (distiller of marc) who went round the villages plying his trade and who knew the Côte well, and also the vignerons for whom he distilled. In 1957 he bought a first vineyard in Volnay, and others followed, so that he built up a patchwork from Gevrey to the Côte Chalonnaise.

The final piece of the jigsaw was the purchase of Domaine Marey in Pernand.

The whole domaine is worked organically and they are just finishing the conversion so that they will be certified from 2021.

The vinification is overseen by Brigitte's son Thomas, after he worked alongside cellarmaster Marc Cugney (who has now retired) for a number of years. The reds are picked into small cases in which they are transported to the winery - and vinified in stainless steel after a 4 day cold maceration. Extraction is gentle and mostly by remontage. The wines then go into barrel with a maximum of 20% new wood. The whites are pressed, and after a short débourbage, are put in tank, where they begin their fermentation. Once the fermentation is under way, they are moved to barrel, with a maximum of 25% new wood.

The domaine is certified organic since the 2021 vintage
