Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet
Winemaker Profile | Burgundy, France
The Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet, in family ownership for at least seven generations, traces its roots back to the late 18th century with François Berthaut in Fixin. The vineyards of the Berthaut and Gerbet families were united through the marriage of Denis Berthaut and Marie-Andrée Gerbet. Their daughter, Amélie Berthaut, took over the estate in 2013, supported by her husband Nicolas Faure, who previously worked at renowned wineries such as Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.
With approximately 16 hectares of vineyards, the Domaine spans the villages of Fixin, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Vosne-Romanée. The vineyards include both Village and Premier Cru sites, such as Fixin "Les Crais," Gevrey-Chambertin "Clos des Chezeaux," and Vosne-Romanée "Les Suchots." The main grape variety is Pinot Noir, complemented by a small production of Chardonnay.
