Hautes Cotes de Nuits

From the higher slopes of the Cote d'Or and made entirely from Pinot Noir by this highly respected local co-operative. A warm, medium-bodied wine, initially light in taste, yet developing on the palate. Lovely cherry/ruby colour, with the subtle taste of a fine Burgundy. (12 x 75 cl)

The wine has an attractive nose, with perfumes of grapefruit and the biscuity toastiness characteristic of oak-aged Chardonnay balanced by a fresh acidity. Parcel-based selection and vineyard management was vital in this vintage. The wine was barrel-fermented using natural yeasts and a very small percentage of new oak. The winemaker eschews batonnage as he doesn’t like the fatness it lends to wines, preferring instead to allow the inherent elegance of his wines to shine through unhindered. (12 x 75 cl)

100% Pinot Noir and once in the winery it is barrel-aged for 12 months using a relatively low proportion of new oak . Finally, the wine, which is neither filtered nor fined, is bottled using gravity. Deep red coloured wine showing a very expressive nose with notes of red and black fruit. In the mouth there is plenty of freshness and elegance that combine well with the very fine tannins through to the finish. (12 x 75 cl)

An excellent negociant house, the company was founded in 1849 and, although it now benefits from the technical expertise as part of the Boisset group, members of the family are still involved in the running of the winery. The style of the wines strikes a nice balance between modern and traditional Burgundian winemaking. This Hautes Cotes de Nuits wine has a rich dark red colour with red fruit aromas that will evolve more complexity with age. Full bodied with a firm structure, it has a good tannic presence and long finish. (6 x 75 cl)
