Hautes-Côtes de Beaune: Fresh and Elegant Burgundy Wines

Discover Hautes-Côtes de Beaune

The Hautes-Côtes de Beaune appellation, located on the higher elevations west of the Côte de Beaune in Burgundy, produces authentic, fresh, and distinctive wines crafted in a preserved natural environment. Situated at a higher altitude than neighboring prestigious appellations, it benefits from a slightly cooler climate which imparts lively acidity and remarkable fruity expression to its wines.

Terroir and Characteristics

The red wines are produced from the Pinot Noir grape variety, while the white wines come from Chardonnay. The combination of clay-limestone and marl soils, along with varied slopes exposure, allows diverse expressions and a harmonious balance between fruitiness, structure, and minerality.

Wine Profile

Hautes-Côtes de Beaune reds display a bright ruby color with aromas of fresh red fruits—cherry, raspberry, currant—often accompanied by floral and spicy hints. On the palate, they are supple, round, and elegant, with fine tannins and refreshing acidity. The whites offer notes of white flowers, white-fleshed fruits, and delicate minerality, supported by a lively and balanced acidity.

Food Pairings

These wines pair beautifully with poultry, white meats, grilled dishes, soft cheeses such as Comté or Brie, and traditional Burgundy dishes like Boeuf bourguignon. Accessible and charming, they provide an excellent introduction to the refined world of Burgundy wines.
