Domaine Berthaut Gerbet
Fixin 1er cru Les Hervelets 2023
Reviews
The Wine Advocate 92-93/100
The 2023 Fixin 1er Cru Les Hervelets is brilliant, wafting from the glass with aromas of raspberries, plums and cherries mingled with hints of violet and orange zest. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and supple, it's penetrating and perfumed. Readers will remember that of these adjacent premiers crus, Hervelets can be sold as Arvelets but not vice versa. This is another strong set of wines from Amélie Berthaut, who has presided over this Fixin reference point for the better part of a decade now, uniting the vineyards of the Domaine Denis Berthaut on her father's side and Domaine François Gerbet on her mother’s. This enterprise now encompasses some 16 hectares, with Amélie's husband, Nicolas Faure, overseeing the vineyards. Soils are cultivated mechanically, and treatments are largely organic. In the winery, vinification incorporates increasing percentages of whole bunches, with less extraction and tannin than in yesteryear, emphasizing suavity and perfume. That plays into the style of the 2023 vintage, delivering supple and charming wines that will drink well pretty much on release.

Inside Burgundy 90-92/100
Bright purple. Now includes the young vines from 2016, which with the generous crop of 2023 means 5.5 barrels. The fresh raspberry fruit is attractively glossy, with fine tannins and good natural acidity, meaning a very composed Fixin 1er Cru worth looking out for. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Nov 2024.

Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet
Bourgogne Côte de Nuits / Frankrijk
Amélie Berthaut is één van de jonge wijnmakers met onvervalst Bourgogne-dna die afgelopen jaren het roer van het familiebedrijf overnamen. Sinds 2013 bestiert zij een aantal fantastische wijngaarden in Fixin, Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée, Flagey-Echezeaux en Clos de Vougeot. De wijnen gaan onder de naam Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet de markt op. Met respect voor tradities van haar voorouders, heeft Amélie haar eigen stijl gevonden: een mix van de klassieke, pure familiestijl en haar persoonlijke, delicate, genereuze inbreng. Sinds ze het familiedomein overnam, maakt ze enorme stappen in kwaliteit. Haar portfolio vertoont meer en meer finesse en diepgang. Dat vinden wij trouwens niet als enigen: de internationale wijnpers is vol lof over de wijnen van Berthaut-Gerbet.
