Côte de Beaune-Villages
Situation
Côte de Beaune
Level
AOC Village
Grape variety
Pinot noir
This appellation gets its name from the fact that the grapes that go into its making come from the different villages in central Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. The vines are planted on both hillsides and foothills in calcareous clay soil, facing east-southeast. These are all factors that favour good exposure to the sun and good soil drainage.
Tasting
Our Côte de Beaune Villages has a very slightly woody nose with a few smoked notes, fruity aromas of strawberry and redcurrant and a finish reminiscent of liquorice. Boasting very pleasing roundness, this wine is endowed with fine tannins and good structure. The finish is both harmonious and elegant.
Food/wine pairing
Ideal with red meats, small game and fine cheeses.
Serving and keeping
Serve between 14 and 16°C (57°F - 60°F)
This wine may be enjoyed now or laid down for 3 to 5 years or more.
