Bertrand Ambroise

Bertrand Ambroise is a Nuits-Saint-Georges-based négociant-grower operating across the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, with estate vineyards in Nuits-Saint-Georges (Les Vaucrains, Clos des Argilières), Corton Grand Cru (Le Rognet et Corton), Échezeaux Grand Cru, Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, and several Beaune Premier Crus. The house was established by Bertrand Ambroise and is now operated by a second generation with a consistent style emphasising deep colour, rich fruit, and generous extraction — sometimes criticized for over-oakiness in earlier vintages but increasingly refined since the 2010s. Corton Le Rognet et Corton and Échezeaux are the estate's most sought-after auction wines, regularly earning 91–94 points. Nuits-Saint-Georges Les Vaucrains — one of the finest Premier Crus in the appellation on iron-rich soil immediately below the Vosne-Romanée border — is the red wine most reflective of the house's Nuits terroir and earns consistent 90–93 points. Clos de Vougeot, though from a less precisely defined parcel, adds Grand Cru breadth. With 578 lots averaging $119 per bottle, Ambroise offers accessible Côte de Nuits and Corton Grand Cru at prices significantly below the headline Burgundy names — a value proposition that attracts buyers seeking entry-level exposure to prestigious appellations. The négociant operation supplements estate fruit with purchased grapes from trusted growers.
