The Domaine Bertagna is atypical in more than one respect. First of all, a woman leads it…but what is more surprising about this winery in Vougeot– in the heart of the Côte de Nuits– is that it belongs to a family of…Germans! Eva’s father, proprietor of numerous wineries throughout the world, was in love with Burgundy and bought the winery. His daughter also fell under its charm and settled there in 1988. Since then, the winery has only grown in size, quality, and reputation…
