Presentation of the appellation
Coming from Dijon, this is where the Burgundy "Champs Elysées" begins! At an altitude of between 280 and 380 metres, the Premiers Crus occupy the upper part of the Côte; the Village Appellation then extends over the brown calcic and brown limestone soil. The vines benefit from marl covered with scree and red alluvium from the plateau.Tasting: Austere and mystical

Côte de Nuits 2021 (red)
The 2021 vintage was marked by frost in April which severely impacted the future harvest. It was also a rainy year and globally cooler than recent trends. Fortunately, the lull in June allowed flowering to take place unhindered and véraison was good thanks to fine weather from mid-August onwards. Winemakers who worked hard to the very end sorting the grapes both in the vineyard and in the winery, have produced fine wines reminiscent of older vintages, with degrees close to those of the 1990s. In the end, the 2021 vintage offers lively wines with delicate aromas.
The Côte de Nuits seems to have done relatively well out of this vintage. The wines offer an astonishing aromatic diversity, and aromas of red and black berries combine with some floral scents and spicy notes. Their vigor and high-quality tannins make them particularly lively in the mouth, with a finish that is still a little closed. This is a classic vintage that will reveal some magnificent surprises over time.
