From: Hautes Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Tasting Notes: Rich and earthy on the palate with vibrant notes of red berry, cherry, and violet. Stony minerality, elegant, with a lengthy finish.
The vineyard 'Le Prieure' is a south/southwest facing plot located in the village of Arcenant, the high-trained Pinot Noir vines grow in terraced vineyards at an altitude of 360-390 meters. Temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel, followed by 10-12 months aging on the lees in French oak.
Pairing: This wine would be a beautiful accompaniment to red meat, especially something regal like a prime rib, or anything with a lot of herbs and spices.
Nuiton Beaunois
It all began in 1957 in the small village of Orches, nestled beneath a limestone cliff in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune area. At the time, they were just a small group of ten or so winegrowers, who had no idea how big their venture would become. And yet these pioneers were already convinced that they would be stronger together. A few decades later, the Cave des Hautes-Côtes, the only cooperative wine cellar in the Côte d'Or region, is proud of its heritage and has expanded to include 80 members.
