Like his colleague Johannes Jülg, Gerd Bernhart’s estate straddles the border of Germany and Alsace. He owns 17 hectares of vines, 11 of them – the best ones – in France. He farms mostly Pinot varieties, 30% of them Pinot Noir, grown on classic clay and limestone soils.
Although he worked at various wine estates since his teens, Gerd had not planned to run the family vineyards. His older brother was all set to take over from his father, but fell in love with a girl from Baden and decided to make wine there instead.
Gerd returned to the estate in 1996, and together with his father, who retired in 2016, he has made ever more brilliant wines. He converted to organic methods in 2016.
In the past Gerd Bernhart’s wines were made in a soft, ripe style. Now they are more structured: the grapes are picked earlier, and handling during fermentation has been cut to a minimum – there is no more punching down of the must to avoid over extraction for instance. The delicate fruit flavours of a warm vintage like 2020 have benefited greatly from this treatment. The wines are bright, fresh and full of energy.
