Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits

The vineyards are located at altitudes ranging between 300 and 400 metres on the slopes of valleys or plateaus to the west of the famed Côte de Nuits. Exposure varies primarily from south to east, meaning that the vines receive an optimal amount of sunshine. The climate is often harsh, which, along with higher altitudes, means that the grapes ripen later and often more slowly that in the Côte de Nuits. These wines are fresh and fruity, boasting nice vivacity.
