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 cuvée is made from two plots: La Grande Corvée de Bully in the commune of Pernand-Vergelesses (low-trained vines) and Les Gueulottes in Magny-les-Villers (high-trained vines).
Terroir
Shallow clay-limestone soils typical of the Hautes-Côtes, bringing tension and minerality.
In the vineyard
Short pruning and leaf thinning are practiced to optimize sun exposure and ripening. Vine training differs by parcel: low-trained vines in La Grande Corvée and high-trained in Les Gueulottes.
Harvest
Grapes are harvested at full maturity, carefully sorted in the vineyard, then gently transported to the winery.
Winemaking
Pneumatic pressing is followed by cold settling over 24 hours. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks to preserve purity and aromatic finesse.
Ageing
25% of the wine is aged in oak barrels, the remainder in large wooden vats (foudres), adding complexity without overpowering the wine’s freshness.

Tasting
This Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Blanc is an elegant, fruit-forward Chardonnay with the freshness typical of the appellation. The nose opens with citrus, white peach, and acacia flower. On the palate, it offers a fine balance of roundness and liveliness, with a subtle mineral backbone and a clean, persistent finish. A precise, charming white Burgundy.
Food pairings
This wine pairs beautifully with both traditional and modern dishes:
Classic pairings: Burgundy snails with garlic butter, creamy fish dishes, or vegetable stir-fries
Cheese: Bleu de Bresse, soft goat cheeses
Its freshness and subtle oak make it a versatile choice from starter to cheese course.
