Amélie Berthaut is turning out red Burgundies of startling clarity, precision, and intricate delicacy.
What's even more amazing is that these qualities carry across her entire range. It's a real testament to her winemaking that even at the Bourgogne level, the wines are so finely rendered.

For my 2022 wine of the year, I choose Berthaut-Gerbet's 2019 Bourgogne - Hautes Côtes de Nuits for the outrageous value that it offers.
Today, I'm excited to offer another outrageous value, the 2021 Bourgogne Les Prielles. At as low as $31.95, this is a not-to-be missed red Burgundy.
I love Burgundy of all stripes, but finding truly compelling examples under the $45 mark is extremely rare.
The 2021 Bourgogne Les Prielles really delivers. It has amazing poise and gorgeous purity. There's bright fruit and a spine of sleekly polished minerality and earthy tones.
Since her first vintage, I’ve been seriously impressed with Amélie Berthaut’s wines. She’s quickly establishing Berthaut-Gerbet as one of Burgundy’s most exciting estates. In 2013, at just 25 years old, Amélie Berthaut took over the majority of her mother and father’s separate estates to form Berthaut-Gerbet. Her wines immediately created a major stir.
I bought every bottle of this that I could get my hands on. What it offers for the money is extremely impressive. Sadly, it doesn't amount to that much. I encourage you to get your orders in early.
