Origins

The Hautes-Côtes de Nuits vineyards are spread across the Côte de Nuits in Burgundy, from Dijon to Corgoloin. It covers the well-exposed slopes of the hills overlooking the Côte at an average height of around 100 to 150 metres above sea level. The climate is ideal for growing vines, and the exposure of the vineyards compensates for the effects of altitude.

The appellation covers an area of 735 hectares, with 599 hectares of red and rosé wines and 136 hectares of white wines.

- Jurassic clay-limestone soils.
- South-east and south-facing.
- Gentle to steep slopes.
- Altitude between 280 m and 330 m.

Vinification and maturing

The harvest is sorted and destemmed, then put into barrels. Cold maceration lasts for 2 days at 8-10°C to allow optimal extraction of the wine's aroma carriers, colouring matter and fat. Vatting lasts around ten days, with daily pumping over and gentle punching of the cap. Half the cuvée is matured in barrels (25% new barrels) and the rest in vats for 8 to 9 months. The two parts are then blended.

Vintage : 2023

The ideal weather conditions in Burgundy in 2023, characterised by a favourable spring, a hot summer with cool nights, moderate rainfall and an early autumn harvest, played a key role in the high yields and exceptional quality of the grapes at harvest time.

The white wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and liveliness. Subtle aromas of white fruit, citrus and floral notes add to their remarkable freshness.

The red wines are powerful and well-balanced, with aromas of red and black fruit, as well as spicy and mineral nuances. The silky tannins add an elegant structure, promising harmonious ageing.

In short, these are expressive, fruity wines with very fine aromatic profiles.
