Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits, Rouge, 0

Overlooking the Côte from Gevrey-Chambertin as far as the Bois de Corton, the Hautes Côtes de Nuits are marked by a wild beauty. The vine adapts to all the well-exposed hillsides and the altitude, between 300 and 400 meters, means that the grapes ripen later than those on the coast and tend to have a higher acidity.

Despite its regional appellation, this wine undergoes careful aging worthy of those reserved for its illustrious neighbors on the Côte. Part of the cuvée is aged in oak barrels aged 2 to 3 wines to allow the aromas to express themselves fully without overpowering the structure of this delicate wine. No racking is done to leave the wine on its lees and the batches are then put back in mass for 2 to 3 months to clarify the wines as naturally as possible.
