Vintage Character Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet Vosne-Romanée 2020 is a refined Pinot Noir that captures the hallmark elegance and spice of this celebrated Côte de Nuits appellation. The 2020 vintage in Burgundy was widely regarded as excellent, with a warm, dry summer producing ripe, concentrated fruit balanced by freshness and structure. This cuvée, sourced from parcels including Aux Réas and Au-Dessus de la Rivière, offers an expressive bouquet of black cherry, plum, and blackberry, lifted by floral notes of violet and rose, with subtle hints of exotic tea and sandalwood.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing On the palate, it is supple yet structured, with silky tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long, layered finish that combines richness with finesse. Its depth and aromatic complexity make it a superb partner for dishes such as roast duck with orange glaze, beef tenderloin with truffle jus, or a creamy Brie de Meaux.
Winery Background Domaine Berthaut‑Gerbet was created from the union of two historic family estates: Denis Berthaut of Fixin and François Gerbet of Vosne‑Romanée. Today, it is led by Amélie Berthaut, who took over in her mid‑20s and has quickly gained recognition for her thoughtful, terroir‑driven style. The domaine farms organically, with careful vineyard management and green harvesting to control yields. In the cellar, fermentations are carried out in concrete tanks with native yeasts, and aging takes place in oak barrels with a restrained use of new wood to preserve purity and finesse. Amélie’s philosophy emphasizes elegance and authenticity, producing wines that bridge the structure of Gevrey with the perfume of Chambolle, while showcasing the unique identity of each site.
