Domaine Bertagna

Domaine Bertagna is a Vougeot-based Burgundy domaine that has passed through several ownership changes since its founding in the late 19th century. The estate came under German ownership in 1982 when the Reh family (also proprietors of Maximin Grünhaus in the Mosel) acquired it and undertook substantial investment in vineyards and cellar. The domaine's most distinctive holding is the monopole Vougeot Premier Cru Clos de la Perriere, a 2.7-hectare site adjacent to Clos de Vougeot that produces what many consider Bertagna's most terroir-specific wine. Additional holdings include parcels in Vosne-Romanee Premier Cru Les Beaux Monts, Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru, Corton Les Grandes Lolieres, and Chambertin Grand Cru. Across 266 auction lots averaging $172 per bottle — ranging from $19 to $923 — the domaine shows solid collector interest anchored by the premier and grand cru portfolio. The Clos de la Perriere monopole commands particular attention given its scarcity; auction prices for this wine regularly exceed $200 per bottle. Under winemaker Eva Reh, the domaine has moved toward more precise, less extracted winemaking, improving consistency through the 2000s and 2010s. The Chambertin and Clos Saint-Denis grand crus represent the ceiling of the portfolio and the primary drivers of the $923 price maximum.
