Berthelemot is a young domaine, created as recently as 2006, as a result of the merging of the mature holdings of the Jean Garaudet and Yves Darviot estates. As well as initial acquisitions in Beaune, Pommard, Monthélie and Meursault, in 2012, the estate purchased established plots in Puligny, Chassagne, and again in Meursault to meet the demand for its white wines. They now cultivate 15 hectares in the Côte de Beaune area (Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Pommard, Beaune....). with a pledge to produce wines revealing the true quality characteristics of the land. Wines are certified "organic" from vintage 2021. The success of the domaine is down to the hard work and talent of its founder, Brigitte Berthelemot, together with her estate manager and winemaker, Marc Cugney. The vines are planted in limestone soils in very good sites at a density of around 10,000 per hectare, they are kept in top condition, and the team responds quickly to regular analyses of the soil and the vines in order to assess appropriate cultivation methods using the bare minimum of herbicides and phytosanitary treatments.
Domaine Berthelemot Meursault 2023
13% abv
These terroirs reach a later maturity and are harvested at the end of the harvest season. Precise and finely structured, with citrus dominating the nose. Fleshy, with citrus notes blending with white flowers. Restrained and elegant as you might expect from this excellent domain. Still youthful, this will develop complexity and character as it ages whilst retaining its balance and poise. Saline & long finish.
100% Chardonnay from handpicked grapes; Vinified and raised in oak casks, around 25% new.
The plots are located at the top of the hillsides and were planted between the two World Wars. Vireuils, at the boundary of Auxey-Duresses, refers to a path that winds around the mountain. Narvaux refers to a narrow valley at the top of the hill. This plot is close to the hamlet of Blagny. Soil composed of marls and gravel over hard limestone bedrock.
