Origins


A regional appellation, the appellation covers 19 communes in the Côte d'Or. The vineyard of the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits is next to the Côte des Grands Crus de Bourgogne, at a higher altitude (300 to 400 m instead of 250 to 350 m), hence the term "Hautes-Côtes". The Hautes-Côtes de Nuits cover about 750 hectares, of which 150 hectares are for white wines.


Vinification & ageing


The grapes are sorted before destemming and direct pressing. The grapes are sorted before de-stemming and direct pressing, followed by a 24-hour settling process, slow fermentation in barrels and aging for approximately 8 months.
