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 Les Tillets 2023
13.5% abv
Elegant and mineral with great textural intensity, a broad creamy palate with savoury butter and toasty notes balanced by a racy and vivacious finish. Still young, this lovely wine has the characteristic delicate touch of Berthelemot.
The lieu-dit of Les Tillets, with a total surface area of just over 11 hectares, was planted in 1962 and faces south-east at an altitude of between 320 and 340m. The soil is a mix of limestone and gravel. Les Tillets is an old word for lime tree, very common in this region and, in the middle ages, frequently used for medicinal purposes. The grapes are neither destalked nor crushed but fed directly by elevator belt to a closed cage pneumatic press; the pressing cycle which is progressive in pressure and with few breaking up phases, enables a quality juice to be gently extracted. After an interval of 12 to 24 hours and cooling down of the must to approx 12°C if necessary, the coarse sediment can be removed. The alcoholic fermentation takes place at a temperature of no more than 21-22°C when the clear juice is filled directly into casks and stored in the cellar
