In 1982, the estate was acquired by the Reh family, with Eva Reh-Siddle taking over management in 1988. Under her leadership, the domaine has emphasized terroir expression, investing in modern winemaking techniques while respecting traditional practices. Today, Domaine Bertagna spans 20 hectares, producing wines from 18 appellations, including five Grands Crus and seven Premiers Crus, showcasing the diversity and quality of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits region.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Wine Maker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eEva Reh-Siddle, a member of the Reh family, has been at the helm of Domaine Bertagna since 1988.

Situated mid-slope, it benefits from deep mineral soils mixed with limestone rocks, providing excellent drainage and contributing to the wine’s structure. The continental climate, characterized by warm summers and cool winters, allows for optimal ripening of Pinot Noir grapes, resulting in wines with depth, elegance, and aging potential.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVinification \u0026amp; Aging Methods\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eGrapes are hand-harvested and undergo a strict selection process both in the vineyard and at the winery. A cold pre-fermentation maceration is followed by alcoholic fermentation using natural yeasts at controlled temperatures. Manual punch-downs are employed to gently extract color and tannins. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in barrels and is aged for 12 to 15 months in French oak barrels, with 25% being new oak, to enhance complexity while preserving the purity of fruit.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 2021 Les Murgers exhibits delicate aromas of red berries, leading to an intense and full-bodied palate dominated by berry flavors.
