The wine region of Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits
Cool high-altitude sister (300-500 m) west of the Cote de Nuits: signature Pinot Noir as red — lively and fruity with notes of cherry, raspberry, redcurrant, wild strawberry and a floral touch, supple tannins and the signature freshness of altitude, accessible young. Chardonnay as a taut, mineral white (citrus, green apple, white flowers, flint), preserved acidity. Aligote as a complement. AOC (1961), 16 villages, limestone and marl on slopes, cooler climate than the Cote, ages 3-6 years.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Free-run wine
The free-run wine is the wine that flows out of the vat by gravity at the time of running off. The marc soaked in wine is then pressed to extract a rich and tannic wine. Free-run wine and press wine are then aged separately and eventually blended by the winemaker in proportions defined according to the type of wine being made.
