« Savoir-faire » ... by Domaine Berthelemot.

« Savoir-faire » is what our business is all about! This is why we make wines of the highest quality for your greatest pleasure.

Our « savoir-faire » covers all the state of the art winemaking activity so that the wine we produce faithfully reflects its land of origin.

This implies a high standard of workmanship and respect for the environment and as far as possible, all the natural processes involved from the vineyard to the finished wine.
In order to produce classified AOC Burgundy wines (appellation d’origine contrôlée) the following conditions are required:

• Density of 10000 vines per ha to control the growth of the vine.
• Pruning (Guyot or Royat method) to a maximum of 8 buds per vine (80000 buds/ha).
• Commence harvesting as from the officially announced date.
• Minimum sugar content at the time of harvesting.
• Respect the maximum yearly yield according to each vintage characteristics.
• Quality control of bottled wine by an independant body.
