Presentation
Located in Magny-les-Villers, at the border between Hautes-Côtes de Nuits and Beaune, Domaine Glantenet Père et Fils experienced a turning point in 1961 with the acquisition of the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée for Hautes-Côtes. This recognition allowed the estate to develop, now covering 25 hectares spread across five communes. Initially focused on livestock and small fruit production, the estate gradually turned to viticulture, highlighting Pinot Noir and Chardonnay on varied terroirs, in high and low vines. The estate's wines reveal a frank and balanced expression of the Burgundian terroir, with fine and elegant reds and lively whites, typical of Hautes-Côtes.
Location
This wine is produced from several parcels in Magny-les-Villers and Villers-la-Faye, including Les Chasserots, La Croix, Les Mailles, Sous le Mont, Le Champ du Lieu-Dieu, and La Grande Corvée (a significant portion is cultivated with low-trained vines).
Terroir
Shallow clay-limestone soils, lending structure and freshness to the wine.
In the vineyard
Green work is meticulously carried out on these plots, including leaf thinning and soil management through plowing and hoeing to encourage deep rooting and soil aeration.
Harvest
Grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted. The bunches are 100% destemmed.
Winemaking
The vinification begins with a cold pre-fermentation maceration lasting 3 to 4 days, followed by around 15 days of fermentation. Gentle punch-downs and pump-overs are adjusted daily based on tasting.
Ageing
The wine is matured in a combination of oak barrels and demi-muids (80%) and stainless steel vats (20%), offering both roundness and purity of fruit.
