The Land
Vosne-Romanée is the most storied red-wine village in Burgundy, home to the grand crus that set the price of Pinot Noir for the whole world. This village bottling comes from two lieux-dits at the southern end of the commune, Aux Réas and Au-Dessus de la Rivière, on the classic Vosne mix of clay and limestone. The Gerbet side of the family planted these parcels decades ago, and the vines now run from the 1930s through the 1950s and 60s, old wood that gives concentration and perfume you rarely find at village level. It is a chance to drink the Vosne signature without paying grand cru money.
The Wine
100% Pinot Noir, fully de-stemmed. The fruit gets a three-to-five-day cold soak around 10°C, then ferments with native yeasts in concrete with gentle pump-overs and a few punch-downs. Aging is in oak, only around a fifth of it new, so the wood supports rather than covers the fruit. This is Vosne in miniature: dark cherry and raspberry, rose petal and warm spice, a savory undertow of earth and blood orange, with silky tannins and the appellation's telltale depth. The 2024 vintage was a hard one in Burgundy, wet with heavy mildew pressure and small yields, and it favored fresher, more perfumed reds; from old vines and careful farming, that translates to lift and detail rather than dilution. Give it a few years or decant it young.
The People
Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet has farmed Fixin for seven generations and united the Berthaut and Gerbet holdings into roughly 16 hectares across the Côte de Nuits, including these prized Vosne parcels. Amélie Berthaut took charge in 2013 after training in oenology in Bordeaux, and she works alongside her husband Nicolas Faure, a cult-followed vigneron with a natural-leaning style of his own. His influence has nudged the domaine from a very classic register toward something that straddles classic and natural, with less new oak and lower sulfur in recent vintages. Farming is sustainable and organic-minded, with chemical treatments steadily pulled back.
Food Pairing
A wine for a proper dinner. Roast duck breast with cherry, squab or guinea fowl, mushroom risotto with a shaving of truffle, or a rare-seared beef tenderloin. Softer washed-rind cheeses work too. The perfume and fine tannins reward slower, more elegant cooking, and a little decanting opens it up beautifully.
We ship wine to most states with a $100 minimum order for shipping. We don't ship spirits nor beer.

Burgundy, in eastern France, encompasses several subregions, but it is the Côte d'Or that is home to many of the world's most expensive and revered wines. The region, primarily a single east-facing slope, has mixed limestone soils that vary dramatically from village to village and even vineyard to vineyard. White wines, crafted from Chardonnay, range from rich and opulent to lean and intensely mineral, while Pinot Noir produces silky, perfumed red wines of exceptional finesse and complexity. Centuries of winemaking tradition have resulted in every plot being meticulously recognized and scrutinized, making the Côte d'Or a true capital of terroir.
Burgundy - Cote d'Or
Pinot Noir is a thin-skinned, notoriously difficult-to-grow, low-yielding grape that finds its ancestral home in Burgundy, France, where it produces some of the world's most elegant and nuanced wines. While Burgundy remains its spiritual heartland, Pinot Noir has since traveled the globe, finding success in other cooler climates, notably in California, Oregon, New Zealand, and Germany. This grape is a challenge for any grower, as it requires specific conditions to show its best, and yet the wines it produces are capable of such a captivating and singular character.
