Domaine Bernard Burgaud - Côte Rôtie 2021

Founded in 1980 by Bernard Burgaud , the estate has transformed abandoned land into flourishing vineyards. With a clear vision and unfailing dedication, Bernard replanted fallow plots , breathing new life into an exceptional terroir.

In 2020 , his son Pierre Burgaud , heir to this passion and this know-how, took the reins of the estate. With him, working the vineyard is a meticulous and demanding art. He pays particular attention to the choice of the harvest date, which is spread over two to three weeks to harvest each cluster at perfect maturity . In order to avoid dry tannins, all their bunches are destemmed before starting aging in oak barrels , of which around 20% are new, for 15 months . 

The domain is distinguished by its authentic and homogeneous approach. They do not produce any special vintages or plot selections. Each bottle is a harmonious blend of the estate's different localities, such as Le Chapim, Les Mutonnes and Côte Blonde. This method guarantees a pure and sincere expression of their terroir.
