Origin

Situated to the west of and parallel to the Côte de Beaune, the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune are higher hills, interspersed with faults, giving great variety to the crops and landscapes. What makes the Hautes-Côtes so special is the original way in which the vines are grown: high, wide vines that are less susceptible to frost than low vines.

The appellation covers 22 communes in Côte-d'Or and 7 communes in Saône-et-Loire. It covers an area of 835 hectares, with 669 hectares of red and rosé wines and 166 hectares of white wines.

- Clay-limestone soils. Marly formations, slopes covered with limestone scree.
- South-east exposure.
- Steep slopes.
- Altitude between 280 and 450 metres.

Vinification and maturing

The harvest is sorted and destemmed, then put into barrels. Cold maceration lasts for 2 days at 8-10°C to allow optimal extraction of the wine's aroma carriers, colouring matter and fat. Vatting lasts around ten days, with daily pumping over and gentle punching of the cap. Half the cuvée is matured in barrels (25% new barrels) and the rest in vats for 8 to 9 months. The two parts are then blended.

Vintage : 2025

The 2025 vintage was shaped by pronounced climatic contrasts. A spring rich in rainfall helped build essential water reserves, while the particularly hot summer accelerated the vine’s growth cycle. This combination led to an early harvest, carried out with precision to preserve the grapes’ natural balance.

Picked from mid‑August onward, the crop stood out for its impeccable health and perfectly controlled ripeness. Fermentations unfolded smoothly, allowing for a pure and precise expression of the grape variety.

The 2025 Grande Sélection Pinot Noir embodies a demanding vintage, where mastering ripeness and honoring the fruit were key to revealing a wine of great accuracy, combining concentration, freshness, and harmony.
