Domaine Berger-Rive is a family-run Burgundy wine estate that covers 26 hectares: 16 hectares in the south of the Cote de Beaune in the Hautes Cotes de Beaune, Bourgogne Pinot Noir and Bourgogne Aligoté appellations and 10 hectares in the north of the Cote Chalonnaise in the Rully and Mercurey appellations. Domaine Berger-Rive is located in Mercey, in the Cozanne and Maranges valleys, and has superb vaulted cellars for the maturation of the wines.
The history of the estate begins in Mercey, a hamlet in the commune of Cheilly-les-Maranges, around a priory built in the 13th century by the monks of Cluny. The Priory of Mercey was acquired after the Revolution by the ancestors of the Berger family. It was at the end of the Second World War that Jacques Berger acquired the Manoir de Mercey, a property built at the beginning of the 19th century and his son, Gérard Berger, gradually turned it into a real wine estate by planting 12 hectares of vines, giving it the name "Domaine Berger-Rive", after his wife, Laure Rive. Xavier Berger joined his father in 1977 and took over the management of Domaine Berger-Rive in 1989: he gradually expanded the Domaine to other terroirs, to reach 22 hectares. In 2015, Paul Berger joined the Domaine, the fourth generation of the family, the youngest of Xavier and Virginie's three children, and took over as head in 2020, increasing the cultivated area to 26 hectares.
Domaine Berger-Rive encourages biodiversity, preserves soil life to maintain life and the fertility of the plots, develops synergies with the natural environment of the crops and promotes the development of fauna including pollinators. Domaine Berger-Rive has been HVE certified since the 2017 vintage. .
