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 crafted from two parcels: "Les Castaings" in Magny-les-Villers and "En Angle" in the commune of Chaux.
Terroir
Shallow clay-limestone soils that enhance minerality and freshness.
In the vineyard
Short pruning ensures vine balance and controlled yields. Leaf thinning is done if necessary to promote aeration and ripening
Harvest
Grapes are harvested at optimal maturity. A parcel-based sorting is done before the grapes are gently transported to the cellar.
Winemaking
Grapes undergo pneumatic pressing. The must is cooled and settled for 24 hours before fermentation, which takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve aromatic precision and freshness.
Ageing
The wine is aged entirely in stainless steel vats to retain its lively character and expressive fruit profile.
