Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune (Red)

Origine

The vines used for this production are located on a hillside in the village of Baubigny, "La Croix de Choux" and "Les Hersées" being the two main hamlets. Parcels lie at an elevation of approx. 350 m and feature a slope of 15% with southern exposure. The soil consists of shallow deposits of slightly marly clays and limestone.
The vines are propped up by posts and grass is grown between the rows. This climate lends a nice freshness to the pinot noir-based reds grown here and highlights their fruitiness. Propping up the vines allows benefiting from maximum sunshin.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand, followed by stripping. The wine is then matured in open vats, as tradition would have it, with cap immersion and temperature verifications.
