Five generations of superb winemaking and this father, daughter duo are going stronger than ever before
- Virginie and Philippe are a father-daughter duo with winemaking in the blood, it's kind of just what the Bernards do... and you bet they do it well. In 1918 the family bought a small plot of land near Dijon, and now 4 generations down the line, what was once a small family vineyard stretches over 19 hectares.
- Philippe, one of 8, and Virginie, one of 4, both spent their childhoods surrounded by the vines and picking odd jobs in the cellar - it's simply a matter of tradition. But there was no teenage rebellion to be found here - whilst both father and daughter moved away from the family vineyard, Philippe to pursue Oenology and Virginie to work in food, neither could resist returning to the winery and continuing its legacy.
- It turns out the pair make one hell of a team who are utterly dedicated to every last inch of the process, from the vine to bottle. They exclusively use traditional methods of winemaking that they have been honing in the Domaine du Clos Saint-Louis for going on five generations. This is small scale winemaking at it's best.

This was one of the most expensive wines I’ve bought from Naked but quite disappointing. Too dry and acidic for me, couldn’t really taste the fruit coming through at all.
It's a very enjoyable Rosè which was a great pairing with salmon. Delicate aromas of red fruit, which are also on the palate with a little gravel. The acidity is there on the medium side and ends with a refreshing finish.
Drank this wine (2022) with a demanding grilled Goats cheese with Red pepper and tomato dessing salad. It perfectly complemented the range of tastes and textures. A very good wine, I shall order more!
Very nice rose !!
Cherry and raspberry fruit upfront, with a lovely earthy, mushroomy and leathery finish.
Not cheap, but for what it is, very good value for money.
This evening I thought I'd treat myself. It's been a good few years since I had a Fixin, so I'm looking forward to the Domaine du Clos St Louis Fixin L'Olivier 2021. It smelled lovely and savoury when I decanted it.
Have a good evening, everyone.

Very average, not a great Gevrey.
A superb Pinot Noir what more can I say.
