More About 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.

Meet the Producer, Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet

Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet

Style: Winery

Fixin does not get talked about nearly enough in Burgundy, which honestly suits Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet perfectly fine. While everyone else fights over the famous millionaire postcode vineyards further south, this family domaine quietly keeps producing some of the most exciting Pinot Noir in the Côte de Nuits.

The estate has been around for generations, but things really took off when Amélie Berthaut joined the family domaine and merged vineyards from both the Berthaut and Gerbet sides of the family. Since then, the wines have gained a huge following for combining proper Burgundy finesse with the darker more structured personality Fixin naturally brings.

There’s serious vineyard pedigree involved too. Alongside Fixin, the domaine works sites in Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée and Chambolle-Musigny, which is a fairly outrageous set of addresses when you stop and think about it. The wines lean elegant and pure rather than heavy or over-extracted, with loads of red berry fruit, spice, florals and earthy depth.

What’s especially nice is how balanced the wines feel. There’s enough structure for proper Burgundy obsessives to get excited, but also enough freshness and drinkability that you do not need a wine qualification and a velvet smoking jacket to enjoy them.

Burgundy can sometimes disappear into luxury-product madness. Berthaut-Gerbet still feels rooted in actual vineyards, actual farming and wines made by people who genuinely care about expressing where they come from.

Which, annoyingly for your bank account, tends to produce very delicious results.
