Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune

The Hautes-Côtes de Beaune vineyards are found on a plateau behind the famed Côte de Beaune, at an altitude of between 350 and 450 metres. Exposure varies primarily from south to east, meaning that the vines receive an optimal amount of sunshine. Because of the altitude, the harvest always begins a few days after the Côte de Beaune.
