"Sleek, intense, delicious and overtly mineral-driven...Lovely juice" - Allen Meadows, Burghound

Francois Bertheau is one of Burgundy's more traditional producers using minimal intervention and racking as well as a sparing amount of new wood (about 10%). The average vine age is about 45 years old. Bertheau's wines are long-lived, and often awkward tasting from barrel, but once they evolve in bottle, they exceed expectation. Old-school winemaking at its best.

Note: from a .32 ha parcel

Tasting note: An elegant, pure and even spicier nose flashes notes of plum, red currant, sandalwood and hints of exotic tea. The sleek, intense, delicious and overtly mineral-driven middle weight flavors possess an even more refined palate impression before terminating in a velvety, mouth coating and impressively long finish where the only reproach is a touch of warmth. Lovely juice. Sweet Spot. Outstanding. --Allen Meadows, Burghound

Note: from a .344 ha parcel located in 100% terres rouges

Tasting note: This is also beautifully perfumed with really pretty red berry scents cut with notes of earth, oak, anise and violet. There is a bit more size and weight if less minerality to the larger-scaled flavors that coat the palate while exhibiting fine length on the serious built-to-age finish. This is not a huge wine by the typical standards of the appellation but then again, the Bertheau version rarely is; indeed it's more of a Bonnes Mares of finesse and understatement.

Tasting note: A perfumed and exceptionally pretty nose is comprised mostly by the essence of red currant trimmed in subtle spice and floral nuances. The rich and beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors exude evident minerality on the clean, youthfully austere and notably more complex finale. This is very well-balanced and in contrast to the prior two wines, one that is going to require at least some patience. Outstanding.--Allen Meadows, Burghound

2020 Francois Bertheau Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru

89-92 Burghound

$121.89/bottle (Limited - In Stock) Buy Now

Note: a 1 ha blend of Groseilles, Baudes, Noirots and Gruenchers

Tasting note: Here there is enough reduction to knock down the fruit though it's clearly ripe. Otherwise, there is slightly better intensity to the bigger and more voluminous medium weight flavors that possess solid depth and persistence on the balanced and more structured finale. This too should drink reasonably well on the younger side. --Allen Meadows, Burghound
