Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune 2013

Grape Variety : Pinot Noir

Soil : Clay and limestone

Site : The vineyards are located in the Hautes Côtes, West of the Côte de Beaune, on hills at an average height of 200-300 meters.

The Vintage 2013 : After a very cold winter and a cool and humid spring, the weather became really fine and warm end of July. The sunny weather and the warm temperatures engendered a slow ripening process of the grapes. The harvest commenced mid September under a bright sunshine. The combination of all those climatic factors and meticulous vinifications have produced wines with very pure aromas and a crunchy texture.

Tasting : Bright ruby colour. Aromas of ripe red berries and black cherries mixed with spices. Well-structured and well-balanced with rounded tannins. Lively with a good persistence.

Food pairing : Super "everyday" Burgundy, ideal with braised and roasted meats, as well as meat-sauced pastas.
