Burghound, January 2010

A cool but equally layered nose is a blend of blue pinot fruit, cherry and earth with background hints of clove and anise that are also picked up by the supple but focused and powerful medium full flavors that are delicious yet serious while possessing excellent depth and length. This is not a big Bonnes Mares but there is muscle present all the same and it will require a few years in the cellar first to really display its full potential. A poised and stylish Bonnes Mares.

About Winery

I have only had a few vintages of this producer's wines, so I hardly know them well. Yet I continue to be impressed with what I have seen to date. Pierre Bertheau, a diminutive, enthusiastic, middle-aged man, is the most underrated producer in Chambolle-Musigny.

He believes in a warm fermentation of 32 C, ages his wines for 18 months in oak barrels, only a tiny percentage of which are new, and does neither a filtration nor fining prior to bottling. In large-quantity vintages, over 50% of his production is sold to negociants.

His top wines are his extraordinary Bonnes Mares, one of the best made from this Grand Cru, as well as his Chambolle-Musigny les Amoureuses. But don't ignore his Chambolle Musigny les Charmes or his Chambolle Musigny, which have been consistently impressive in flavor and complexity and sell for one-third the price of his Grand Crus.

This is an unheralded, meticulously run estate that is worthy of the most serious Burgundy connoisseurs' attention. Bertheau's wines appear to be capable of lasting a decade in most vintages.

**** -- An excellent to outstanding producer.
--- Robert Parker, "Burgundy"

Producer note: Complete responsibility of managing this 6.18 ha domaine has fallen to François Bertheau after the recent death of his father Pierre. Effective with the 2004 vintage, there will be a new label and the name will change from Pierre Bertheau et Fils to François Bertheau.
