Coming Up

Today, Claire Bortolussi co-owns and co-leads Domaine Berthoumieu, a position she has held since 2017. The work is anchored in estate management in Viella, with the property now in organic conversion.

Where They Are Now

Estate work here sits between expression and structure: the first years were, in her words, focused on emotion, before the domaine settled into its current phase of organic conversion. That shift, described by Claire Bortolussi, frames how the estate is being managed today in Viella.

In Their Words “We have two types of Madiran: a more accessible, softer wine, and a more concentrated wine with a beautiful length on the palate.” “The first years were focused on emotion. We have fully settled in and are in organic conversion.”
