Bourgogne Hautes-Cotes de Nuits Blanc 2012

Tasting notes

The color is straw yellow with bright, golden tones.
The delicate nose features white fruits and dried fruit with a touch of butter and honey.
The attack is fresh but substantial. A generous wine.

Food pairing: Traditional Burgundian dish of snails with parsley

Wine Making

The grapes are picked by hand and pressed as whole clusters, without being crushed. After settling for 24 hours, fermentation begins without addition of commercial yeast. The wine is then aged 70% tank and 30% in new barrels for 16 months, during which time a few stirrings occur. The wine is lightly fined and filtered before bottling.

The vines are located in Chevannes and are 50 years of age.
