Amélie Berthaut has become one of the most dynamic winemakers in modern Burgundy since she merged her parent's estates in 20213. With vineyards inherited from both her father (Berthaut in Fixin) and mother (Gerbet in Vosne-Romanée) hers is a domaine straddling both the hidden corners of the Côte de Nuits and its most iconic villages and vineyards.
Amélie turned heads by redefining what’s possible in Fixin. Her versions were revelations, cool, lifted fruit and soft textures laid waste to the notion that decades were needed before any Fixin could be accessible but, here's the catch, they are still age worthy!
The 2023 vintage marks a new chapter — both in the vineyard and in the cellar. After years of working in tight quarters, Amélie finally had the space to work comfortably in her completely redesigned winery. And she had a generous harvest to fill it: a rare season of ease.
Stylistically, 2023 is a perfect match for Amélie’s gentle touch: minimal extraction, increasing use of whole clusters (though mostly limited by fermenter size), and restrained use of new oak — around 20% for most cuvées. The resulting wines emphasize elegance, clarity, and tenderness, with cool fruit and soft textures. They’re captivatingly drinkable in youth but built on a foundation that bodes well for the cellar. The 2023s from Berthaut-Gerbet are well worth your attention.
Wine Advocate: 89-90 Points
Aromas of dark berries, plums and licorice introduce the 2023 Gevrey-Chambertin Village, a medium-bodied, supple and charming wine with good energy and an enveloping core of sweet fruit. (WK)
Burghound: 89 Points
Here the ripe and fresh aromas of plum and dark cherry are laced with prominent earth and soft oak wisps. There is both good verve and richness to the lightly mineral-inflected medium weight flavors that possess a seductive mouthfeel thanks to the relatively fine-grained tannins shaping the silky if firm and youthfully austere finale. This could use better depth but a few years of patience should successfully rectify that.
