Pinot Noir
A regional appellation, the appellation extends over 19 communes in Côte d'Or. The vineyards of the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits stand alongside those of the Côte des Grands Crus de Bourgogne, at a higher altitude (300 to 400 m instead of 250 to 350 m), which is why the term "Hautes-Côtes" (High slope) is used. The Hautes-Côtes de Nuits cover approximately 750 hectares, of which 600 hectares are Pinot Noir.
All the grapes pass over a sorting table and are then crushed, de-stemmed before fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Cold pre-fermentation maceration for 3 days. Alcoholic fermentation for 12 days with 2 pumping over and 2 punching down per day and light final warm maceration. Pressing then ageing in barrels for 10-12 months.
