We have been importing François Bertheau’s wonderfully fruited, perfumed, classic and lacy Chambolles since the 2014 vintage. Over this short time there has been a growing chorus of praise from clients here in Australia. François works hard in his 6ha of vines; only Chambolle-Musigny, no other commune. He is determined to have healthy little bunches and he guides the wines through fermentation and ageing with great care and craft.
Bertheau has done a magical job in 2023. His wines, across the range, are spectacular, in his pure, bright and pristine, highly aromatic and silky style. I tasted the whole range in March this year and came away in awe of his achievements. Cheers, Randall.
