Description
Founded in 1879 Domaine Dubreuil-Fontaine is run by fifth generation winemaker Christine Dubreuil. It is located on the hillside of the historic town of Pernand-Vergelesses in the Cotes de Beaunes. The Domaine owns 20 hectares of vines spread across some twenty appellations across the Cote de Beaune. Hand Picking with sorting as required, Pinot is completely destemmed then sees around five days of cold maceration before fermentation. New oak is used but is kept to about 35% for the Grand Crus. Since Christine has taken over quality has improved markedly.
The Pernand-Vergelesses Clos Berthet premier cru is the monopoly of the domaine. Located in the continuity of the Sous Frétille facing West, it is considered the gem of Domaine Dubreuil- Fontaine.
Traditional fermentation in oak barrels and 100 % malolactic fermentation. 10 to 12 months in oak barrels, including 25% of new oak. 30 year old vines over clay and limestone.
An elegant citrus bouquet with saline hints. Good tension and minerality, typical of the Pernand-Vergelesses appellation. Lovely intensity and length.
90 points, Neal Martin, Vinous Media “The 2018 Pernand-Vergelesses Clos Berthet 1er Cru has a waxy, resinous bouquet with scents of pressed flowers that emerge with aeration. The palate is fresh on the entry and quite tight and linear, with a slightly reserved but fresh saline finish. Very fine.”
