Domaine Berthaut Gerbet
Vosne Romanee 2023
Reviews
Inside Burgundy 91/100
Bottled last week. More crimson than ruby, with an energy of mixed red berry fruits. The fruit, mostly strawberry, maintains nicely through the palate with a slightly softer oakier finish, but note that this has just been bottled. Fine persistence. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Nov 2024.

The Wine Advocate 89-91/100
The 2023 Vosne-Romanée Village is also a strong effort, revealing aromas of sweet red berries, orange zest and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and powdery wine with a saline finish. It's the usual blend of Réas and Rivière.
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.
