2024 Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet, Fixin, Les Crais

Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet is a multi-generational estate in Fixin, now led by Amélie Berthaut, who combines her family’s deep-rooted history in the village with holdings inherited from her mother’s side in Vosne-Romanée. This wine comes from Les Crais, a 1.38-hectare parcel characterized by stony, well-draining alluvial soils with high concentrations of gravel and limestone. In the glass, it shows focused notes of tart cherry, dark raspberry, and a savory, mineral edge, all supported by a firm, structured texture. The 2024 vintage required meticulous vineyard work, resulting in a refined profile that emphasizes the inherent clarity and tension of this specific site. This is a balanced, expressive wine that offers early appeal but possesses the structural integrity to develop further in the cellar.
