TASTING: The terroirs of our Hautes-Côtes give fruity and mineral wines, however with a good fullness. We stay on terroirs more in altitude than the Côte de Beaune, hence this very mineral expression, which makes it an easy wine to access in its youth as an aperitif or as an accompaniment. The aging cell nevertheless reveals a fatter and more voluminous wine, richer and more powerful, on buttery notes.
