The AOC Hautes-Côtes de Nuits is named as such because its vineyard is located around 300 to 400 meters in altitude, allowing the production of red wines and white wines with remarkable freshness. Covering more than 760 hectares (80% of which are planted with Pinot Noir), the appellation runs parallel to the Côte des Grands Crus of Burgundy. This elongated vineyard features clay-limestone soils and offers a wide variety of cuvées: most are best enjoyed for their fruitiness in their youth and represent excellent value for money. However, be aware that some wines from old vines or specific plots offer great aromatic depth, still at very attractive prices for the region!
