TERROIR

Hautes-Côtes refers to a regional appellation that is grown in 48 villages in Burgundy. The Hautes-Côtes region runs behind and parallel to Burgundy’s Côte des Grands Crus at high altitudes (300 to 400 meters as opposed to 250 to 350 meters), which gives it its name “Hautes” meaning “high”. The Hautes-Côtes de Beaune cover a surface area of 600 hectares, of which 530 are planted with red grapes.

Vinification and ageing: In thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks followed by 8 months of barrel ageing with a proportion of 15% new oak.
