Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits
Situation
Bourgogne
Level
AOC Régionale
Grape variety
Pinot noir
This appellation is located on the slopes to the west of Burgundy’s Côte de Nuits. The climate here can sometimes be rough, with cold, snowy winters and cooler summers. Consequently, the grapes tend to ripen slower. The resulting wines are marked by their freshness, fruitiness and vivacity. Our know-how allows us to carefully and subtly balance these characteristics for added roundness and fullness.
Tasting
Very fresh, with intense notes of fruit (blackcurrant, blueberry) and lily. Although full-bodied, this wine boasts a lovely vinous profile.
Food/wine pairing
This wine is a fine match for red meats, roasted or grilled poultry, dishes served with sauce, and mild cheeses.
Serving and keeping
Serve between 14 and 16°C (57-60°F).
May be enjoyed in its youth for its fruitiness or laid down for up to 5 years.
