Domaine Bertagna 2008 Clos Saint-Denis Pinot Noir (Clos Saint-Denis)
-
$250
A finely balanced wine, with acidity, a soft texture, new wood and flavors of cocoa and smoke. There is beautiful red cherry fruit, laced with spice and buried tannins for aging. Keep this impressive wine for 6-7 years.

Domaine Bertagna 2000 Les Plantes Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Chambolle-Musigny)
-
$75
There is a fine balance on the nose between modern new wood aromas and pure raspberry fruits. On the palate, the wood is sweet and is nicely balanced with a helpling of chunky fruits and some elegant ripe flavors. Lovely acidity comes through toward the finish. This is a fine wine, both concentrated and yet elegant.

Domaine Bertagna 2009 Clos Vougeot Pinot Noir (Clos Vougeot)
-
$250
A wine with great weight, density and structure from a well-positioned parcel of vines. The juicy plum flavors affirm the potential for opulence as the wine ages.

$146
What a powerful wine, full of dark, brooding fruits. It’s big and solid, but the edges blur into some delicious rich flavors, with hints of acidity on the finish. Very much in the Bertagna style, this is rich and mouth-filling.

Domaine Bertagna 2004 Corton-Charlemagne Chardonnay (Corton-Charlemagne)
-
$145
Big, opulent and rich, this is all fruit. While there is a hint of wood, the wine is generous with tropical flavors and ripe white pears. If it wasn’t for the acidity, this could be New World.

Domaine Bertagna 2004 Clos de la Perrière Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Vougeot)
-
$90
This premier cru is entirely owned by Domaine Bertagna, making it the flagship of the domaine. This wine shows mineral character as well as finesse. But it is also structured, with dry tannins through the finish. It’s not huge, but it certainly is solid.

Domaine Bertagna 1999 Pinot Noir (Clos Vougeot)
-
$120
The last vintage at Bertagna made by winemaker Roland Masse before he left to make the wines at the Hospices de Beaune, it’s full and sleek, long and velvety, with rich earth and black cherry flavors dressed up by hints of cinnamon and toast.

Domaine Bertagna 2004 Pinot Noir (Corton les Lolieres)
-
$129
This is right at the northern end of the Corton grand cru vineyard. First palate impressions of this dark, powerful wine are that the acidity and tannins almost smother the fruit. But those fruits are going to push through, bringing new wood flavors along. The aftertaste is of pepper as well as acidity.
