The Fouquerand family comes from a very old La Rochepot family, emancipated by the seigneur du Village Charles d'Augermes, Marquis de Fargis in 1629.
This family has remained on the land of their ancestors, perpetuating their winegrowing know-how and tradition.

Presentation
Presentation
The vineyards of the Hautes Côtes de Beaune are planted on the well-exposed slopes of the hills overlooking the coast. The average altitude is 300 to 400 meters. Climatic conditions are favorable to vine-growing. The Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune appellation was instituted at the request of producers, by decree in 1961, thus personalizing the Bourgognes of their hillsides. They are obtained through a double test: tasting and analysis.

The sometimes steep slopes are frequently covered with limestone scree.

Tasting
These are wines for laying down, charming in their spontaneity and frankness, sometimes firm in their youth, but finding harmony and balance after a few years.
Food pairings
Goes well with simple dishes such as grilled or roasted meats and mild cheeses (fresh Epoisses, fresh Brillât Savarin, Cîteaux...).
