Domaine Berthelemot Pernand Vergelesses 1er Cru Sous Fretille

Winemaker Domaine Berthelemot on the winery

“At Domaine Berthelemot, everything revolves around expressing the unique character of our Burgundian terroirs. Based in Meursault, we work with passion and precision to craft wines that speak of their origins. Since our founding in 2006, we have built a family estate where respect for nature and attention to every vineyard are at the heart of what we do. Our wines have been certified organic since 2021. Our aim is not to dominate nature, but to capture its character as purely as possible in the glass.”

And on Bourgogne, France

“Pernand-Vergelesses is a remarkable corner of the Côte de Beaune, where elevation, steep slopes and white marl soils come together. Our Sous Frétille vineyard faces south, at an altitude of 310 to 350 metres. The combination of sunshine and elevation gives our Chardonnay both ripeness and tension. Local wine lovers sometimes call this Premier Cru the ‘little Corton-Charlemagne’. Using hand-picked grapes and ageing the wine in oak, we create a wine where rich texture and refined minerality come beautifully together.”
