François Bertheau’s 2020 Les Charmes comes from the northern section of this Premier Cru, where thin soils and gentle slopes yield a delicate, floral Pinot Noir. The domaine farms traditionally, with minimal intervention and restrained oak use.

The wine is finely balanced, showing red currant, mineral lift, and quiet complexity. A classic, understated Chambolle with finesse and long-term harmony.

Left Francois Bertheau

These wines of Domaine Francois Bertheau gain in stature every year and the tiny amounts that come into the U.S. are very sought after. These old fashioned wines are reminiscent of the great wines of Jacky Truchot - great purity and focus with lots of mouthweight or "matiere grasse".

Francois Bertheau took over from his father Pierre 13 years ago and the wines - which have always been very good - are now even better. He is a meticulous grape grower. He uses a maximum of 20% new oak, usually 10% or less.

This is an elite Chambolle domaine on a par with the unaffordable superstars of this extraordinary village on the Cote D'Or.

Professional Reviews

Burghound

BH 93
"A perfumed and exceptionally pretty nose is comprised mostly by the essence of red currant trimmed in subtle spice and floral nuances. The rich and beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors exude evident minerality on the clean, youthfully austere and notably more complex finale. This is very well-balanced and in contrast to the prior two wines, one that is going to require at least some patience." -Allen Meadows
