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.
Burghound: 90 Points
A wonderfully spicy nose freely proffers its aromas of various dark berries, violet and exotic jasmine tea. The gorgeously textured, even velvety, medium-bodied flavors are at once succulent but punchy while delivering fine length on the bitter pit fruit-inflected finish. This balanced effort could also use better depth so again, some patience should prove to be beneficial. In short, this is an excellent Vosne villages.
from Aux Réas and Au Dessus de la Rivière with a tiny amount of Basses Maizières
Wine Advocate: 89-91 Points
The 2023 Vosne-Romanée Village is also a strong effort, revealing aromas of sweet red berries, orange zest and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and powdery wine with a saline finish. It's the usual blend of Réas and Rivière. (WK)
