A rising star in Côte de Beaune, Domaine Berthelemot has quickly garnered attention among wine enthusiasts. This distinctive estate in Burgundy combines quality, confidence, and precision with an impressive heritage of vineyards acquired in record time.

Brigitte Berthelemot initially assembled these terroirs with great care, creating a 15-hectare estate now managed using organic and biodynamic practices. It's rare in Burgundy to see an estate develop so swiftly around such prestigious climats: Volnay, Beaune Premier Cru Les Grèves, Bressandes and Clos des Mouches, Pommard, Gevrey-Chambertin, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne, and Corton-Charlemagne.

Each wine here is a true reflection of its terroir, emphasizing purity and delicacy with gentle, slow pressings, vinification focused on freshness and fruit, and aging for a maximum of one year.
