Renowned Belgian photographer and wine enthusiast Bernard Van Berg changed the course of his life in the early 2000s, settling in Meursault with his wife Judith to devote himself to winemaking. There, he took over a two-hectare vineyard planted with Chardonnay, Aligoté, Pinot Noir and Gamay, including vines dating back to 1950. The vineyard has been farmed organically, certified since 2008, without fertilisers or plant protection products. The vines are tended like a small garden, with the soils ploughed by horse. Naturally, yields are extremely low. The same natural approach continues in the winery, where there is no destemming, no added yeasts or enriching, and sulphur additions are kept to an absolute minimum. The wines are aged in new casks.

Bernard Van Berg, a former famous Belgian photographer, left everything behind to settle in Meursault and produce luxury Bourgogne Grand Ordinaire wines. Each vine is pampered and carefully nurtured by hand. Machinery and chemicals are rejected to let the vines draw all the nutrients they require naturally from the soil, reflecting the beautiful qualities of the terroir. The winemaker also carefully controls his yields to handpick authentic, fragrant and concentrated grapes, which are meticulously sorted before being vinified.
The golden colour graced with delicate green tints promises an expressive bouquet. The nose is indeed as intense as it is complex, offering delicious aromas of exotic fruit. The generous, fresh palate affirms the aromas of the nose and reveals delicate hints of vanilla. This cuvée will reveal its full aromatic potential in its youth.
