Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes-de-nuits
Location
Overlooking the Gevrey-Chambertin slope and stretching to the Corton wood, the vineyards of the Hautes Côtes are located on a plateau just above the famed Côte de Nuits, at an altitude of between 300 and 400 metres.
Soil
Planted in calcareous clay soil, the orientation of the vineyards ranges from south to east, which gives the vines optimal exposure to the sun.
Grape variety
100 % Chardonnay
Vinification
Vinification takes place at 20°C in temperature-controlled tanks to preserve all of the freshness and aromas of this varietal. The wine is aged primarily in vats on the lees with stirring for 10 to 12 months.
Robe
Beautiful straw yellow in colour.
Nose
Very fresh, with predominant, fragrant minerality.
Palate
The palate is coherent with the nose. Very harmonious, considerable finesse, precise, chiselled flavours that leave a lovely sensation of freshness in the mouth.
Serve with
On its own as an aperitif or with food. The perfect match for all types of fish, crustaceans and white meats: turkey tagine with turmeric, veal marengo or seafood risotto would all be good matches.
Serve at
Serve between 10 and 12°C.
Cellaring potential
Enjoy while young and fruity or lay down for 3 to 5 years.
