Its wines belong to the most prestigious appellations in the world and are being crafted by women and men across six different wine regions. Our wines reflect those exceptional terroirs, located between hilly sights, monumental cliffs and sunbathed slopes.

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.
