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.
