From: Burgundy, France Varietal: Pinot Noir From a 1.30 hectare parcel with vines more than 60 years old and the oldest planted in 1930. Les Clos has a very complex geologically and Berthaut's vines grow into at least four different types of bedrock, Premeaux limestone, marly ostrea acuminata, crinoidial limestone, and alluvial stones from the Combe Laveau (Wasserman and Co.) Fully destemmed. Aged for 12 months in barrel (approximately 20% new). About Berthaut-Gerbet. Additional Info, Wasserman and Co. In 1896, Danguy and Aubertin mention M. Paul Berthaud and M. Pierre Berthaud as two of the three main proprietors in Les Clos. They also mention other Berthauts (with a ‘t’) as owners in the neighboring Champ Perdrix and Le Rosier; Domaine Berthaut-Gerbet still owns slivers of those. It would appear that these holdings have been in the family at least since the late 19th century.Lavalle considered this area of Fixey to be very good. He included Les Clos, Le Clos, Le Rosier, Champs Perdri
