Hautes Cotes de Beaune

The reds are garnet in colour with hints of bright red. The nose offers aromas of blackcurrant and heady notes of rose, cherry, strawberry, and liquorice, with touches of blueberry, iris, violet, pepper, and mint. The mouth is fresh and fairly structured, marked by a minerality giving rise to crisp tannins and fruitiness, followed by a saline finish, underscored by aromas of cherry and liquorice.

The whites are intense pale yellow or pale-yellow gold, with greeny-yellow silvery hints and a fluid aspect. On the nose are notes of acacia, hawthorn, lemon, quince, apple, pear, white peaches, and almond, with touches of pepper, liquorice, and honeysuckle. They are fresh and balanced on the palate, with fleshy fruit, and underscored by a subtle marly minerality. The melting, saline finish is light, with aromas of lemon, mandarin, and white-fleshed fruit.
