Nuiton Beaunoy Bourgogne Hautes Cotes De Nuits 2022

This wine is from the Hautes-Cotes de Nuits, a sub-region of Burgundy located just west of the famous Cote de Nuits. Known for its higher altitude vineyards, the area enjoys cooler temperatures, which allow for slower ripening and greater acidity in the grapes. The region's terroir is characterised by clay-limestone soils that contribute to the finesse and minerality of the wines, particularly those made from Pinot Noir, which thrives in this environment​.

Made from Pinot Noir grapes, this wine embodies the classic Burgundian style: light-bodied, with medium acidity and a delicate tannic structure. It offers a refreshing expression of Pinot Noir, with a fruit-forward profile balanced by mineral notes. The wine is known for its purity and freshness. The grapes undergo traditional winemaking practices, with fermentation in stainless steel vats to preserve the fresh fruit flavours. The wine is aged partially in oak barrels, allowing it to develop additional complexity without overwhelming the delicate fruit profile. It is crafted to be consumed relatively young, showcasing the vibrant and expressive character of the Hautes Cotes de Nuits terroir​.

The Nuiton Beaunoy Bourgogne Hautes-Cotes de Nuits 2022 has a deep purple colour with ruby highlights.

On the palate, the wine is clean and fresh, offering the perfect balance of fruit, acidity, and a smooth finish. The subtle spiciness enhances the overall complexity​.

It works well with red meats, such as duck or beef, as well as spicy dishes and charcuterie. It also pairs nicely with cheeses, making it a great choice for a cheese platter. Serve at 16–18°C.
