The soil here is deep limestone and marl, and the vines were planted in 1980, old enough to give real depth to what is technically a regional Bourgogne. This is the same commune that anchors the domaine, so even the entry-level red comes from a named parcel worked by a serious grower rather than blended fruit trucked in from across the region. That is the whole point of buying Bourgogne from a top address: village-level care at a fraction of the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e100% Pinot Noir. The grapes get a cold soak, then ferment with ambient yeasts in concrete vats with just a gentle pumping over and a few punch-downs, so extraction stays soft. Malolactic finishes in concrete, and the wine ages in used barrels with no new oak. The result is bright and transparent: red cherry, cranberry, and raspberry, a little woodland earth and pepper, fine tannins, and lively acidity. This is the domaine's modern signature, less oak and lower sulfur than in years past, with the fruit left to speak. The 2024 vintage in Burgundy was difficult, with a wet spring, heavy mildew pressure, and small yields, and it produced fresher, lighter-framed reds built more on lift than on weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe People\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDomaine Berthaut-Gerbet has roots in Fixin going back seven generations. It unites the old Denis Berthaut estate in Fixin with the Gerbet family's holdings in Vosne-Romanée, about 16 hectares in all. Amélie Berthaut took the reins in 2013 after training in oenology in Bordeaux, and she farms alongside her husband Nicolas Faure, a cult-favorite vigneron with a natural-leaning touch of his own. His influence shows: the wines have shifted from a very classic Fixin style toward something that straddles classic and natural, with less new oak and lower sulfur in recent vintages. Farming is sustainable and organic-minded, with steadily reduced chemical treatment in the vineyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA weeknight red Burgundy that punches above its label. Roast chicken with herbs, coq au vin, a mushroom and thyme pasta, or a board of charcuterie and Comté. It also loves salmon or duck with a light chill. The bright acidity and soft tannins keep it easy alongside almost anything off a bistro menu.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VinMarket","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572304974047,"sku":null,"price":46.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0439\/7436\/1248\/files\/P7160695.jpg?v=1784262540","url":"https:\/\/denverwinemerchant.com\/products\/domaine-berthaut-gerbet-bourgogne-les-prielles-2024","provider":"Denver Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
