Domaine Bertagna - Hautes Côtes de Nuits - White 2023
Domaine Bertagna is located in Vougeot, in the Côte de Nuits region of Burgundy . The 17-hectare vineyard produces wines in regional, village, premier cru, and grand cru appellations. Coming from a family of winemakers in the Moselle Valley in Germany, Eva Reh grew up in the vineyards, discovering a love of the land and a passion for wine that has been passed down from generation to generation. In 1988, Eva moved to France to manage and restructure Domaine Bertagna, which her father had acquired in 1982. The land is cultivated with a philosophy that advocates respect for the terroir and is based on a considered and ecological approach .

Aging lasts 10 to 12 months in 228 and 456 liter oak barrels (60%) and stainless steel vats (40%) .
