Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet Fixin Champs des Charmes Blanc 2023

Crafted from a tiny 0.5-hectare plot in the “Champs des Charmes” vineyard of the Fixin appellation in Burgundy, this wine stands out because white wines from this village are very rare (whites represent only a small fraction of Fixin’s total production). The site is characterised by alluvial soils rich in limestone and gravel, a foundation that gives the wine clarity, minerality and elegance. 

In the cellar, the winemaking is contemplative and precise: after whole-cluster pressing the Chardonnay is fermented with native yeasts, initially in stainless steel tanks (~30%) then finished in barrel (~70%, about half of which is new oak) to balance freshness with texture.
