Vintage information 2004:

The better whites were lovely at release, wonderful citrus infused acidity that is now tight and sometimes spiky; regionals can be a little harsh.
The already uneven reds have a post bottling malaise; a rather green and sometimes unpleasant cedar/pine note all producers are affected if you are sensitive, these are great bargains for the insensitive! After 3 years they have not improved. Some whites also show the odour but seem better able to assimilate it than reds...

2004 Bertagna, Clos St.DenisMar. 2006
Again, almost no nose. A lovely palate – real extra dimension from the mid-palate onwards. The length and balance are first rate. This is a very fine wine.
2004 Bertagna, ChambertinMar. 2006
Closed. Not fat, rather supple and lithe. Concentrated with lovely depth and intensity plus almost good tannins. Not as ‘big’ as the Clos St.Denis but there’s great poise to this wine – lovely.
2004 Bertagna, Clos de VougeotMar. 2006
Tight, perhaps a little creamy red fruit. High-toned fruit in the mouth. Refreshing acidity and good structure – some power too. Just a little austere, but surely very fine as a minimum.
2004 Bertagna, Corton Les Grands LolièresMar. 2006
Tight, coffee-edged fruit. Sweet palate with super depth to the fruit. Plenty of grippy tannin but the overall wine is quite well balanced. Big and muscular – but with manners. A very good wine.
2004 Bertagna, Corton-CharlemagneMar. 2006
Has a lovely creamy edge to the nose – in fact it’s almost the only wine with any aromatics! Intense and long this is a real beauty who’s fruit puts on a real extra grand cru burst in the mid-palate that slowly fades into the finish. This is a very good wine.
