<h1>DOMAINE BERTAGNA</h1> <h2>news</h2> 15.12.11 Merry Christmas 2011 is ending quietly in the cellars as well as in the vineyards. We are currently bottling the 2010 wines, full of pleasant surprises. The low yields favoured the concentration in the grapes, and the wines are fruity, round and elegant. There is still time to make your reservations. We wish you a very enjoyable festive season, good health and a happy New Year. 14.12.11 Here is a suggested recipe for Christmas Sole fillets with morel mushrooms .... to accompany our Vougeot Premier Cru Les Cras blanc. Ingredients for 6 persons: 12 sole fillets, 500g dried morel mushrooms, 5 shallots, 30cl of chardonnay wine, 2 tablespoons cream, butter, salt and pepper. Method: soak the morels in a bowl of lukewarm water for 2 days, and thoroughly rinse them. Each fillet will be rolled and held with a wooden pin. Place the fillets in a buttered dish on a layer of shallots. Cook them in the oven at a low temperature for 15 mn. Melt 25g butter, add the morels and 50 cl Chardonnay, salt and pepper. Simmer at a low heat. Remove from the oven, save the cooking liquid and keep the fish warm. Reduce the cooking liquid and fold in the cream. Add the morels and cook for 3mn. Serve this sauce around the fillets.

The extent of rot varied according to the parts of the vineyard, but it stopped thanks to the improved weather conditions just before the harvest. Once again, sorting was necessary, both in the vineyard and on the sorting table in the winery. A quality crop The remaining grapes are healthy, the skins are thick thanks to the sunshine enjoyed during the week preceding the harvest, and it is a sign of quality. The result is well-balanced with a good acidity level. 06.10.11 2011 harvest After a warm, dry spring, July was a rainy month and the vegetation was somewhat delayed. During the month of August, the alternation of storms followed by hot spells ensured that the grapes acquired a good degree of maturity. At Domaine Bertagna, we decided that we would not start harvesting until September 5th to allow the grapes to benefit from even more sunshine, which proved to be a particularly good option…and the whole picking took place under the sun and in high spirits. 26.09.11 Sommeliers International 2011 Vougeot Premier Cru les Cras white 2008 "...Visual aspect: pale gold colour, green hints, brilliant.
