The estate’s cellars and vineyards remain situated in the center of the community close by the Château and its own ancient Chapter Home, however the winery is normally possessed since 1985 with the world-renowned Reh family members and maintained by Eva Reh-Siddle. With 18 wonderfully diverse appellations over the area, 12 which are Top and Grand crus, Bertagna is one of the top rank Domaines in Burgundy. A desire to have perfection and focus on quality, in conjunction with significant investments in technology and vineyard administration, result in a number of the region’s most powerful wines. Domaine Bertagna could very well be most widely known because of its elegant, silky crimson wines, but it addittionally produces among the world’s rarest white wines – Vougeot 1er Cru Blanc Les Cras” in the Côtes de Nuits.
