To the west of the Côte de Nuits, beyond the line of the first slopes, lie the appellation Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits—a vineyard perched between 300 and 400 meters in altitude, across sunlit plateaus and valleys.
Long overlooked, this appellation has been undergoing a true renaissance since the 1950s, driven by passionate winemakers. They have carefully selected the best slopes suited to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to craft wines that express the altitude, freshness, and vibrant energy of the terroir.
The red wines are deep and structured, with aromas of red and black berries, well-defined tannins, and strong aging potential. The whites are lively and well-balanced, showing notes of white flowers, wet stone, and citrus zest.
Offering a more approachable style than the prestigious names of the Côte, yet with plenty of personality, the wines frome the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits provide an authentic alternative for those seeking Burgundian character at gentler prices.
