Madam Veuve Point Bourgogne Hautes Cotes De Nuits 2015

A pale gold appearance with green highlights. To the nose, the floral notes mix with fresh fruits that complete a touch of toast and hazelnut. In the mouth, one finds fullness and roundness. This Hautes-Côtes de Nuits is a gourmet wine. Its spry and harmonious personality predisposes it perfectly for tarama, snails, freshwater fish and white meats. At maturity, it will go well with a salted foie gras. The cheeses it goes well with: Roquefort, Aged Comté, Chaource.

Destined to disappear, this vineyard was able to accomplish a patient and courageous recovery. Overlooking the edge of Gevrey-Chambertin and running as far as the forest of Corton, the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits are marked with a savage beauty. One must explore the little villages nestled on the edges of the forests. The vineyard has taken over all the well-exposed hillsides and proudly guards the secrets of its letters of nobility inherited from Vergy and the Abbey of Saint-Vivant. The roads which lead you here– sinuous, rough and requiring caution– are the delight of cyclists. Hiking paths lead from the valleys to the hills. This vineyard is located between 300 and 400 meters of altitude. The vineyard occupies the sides of the valleys, cutting into the Jurassic limestone plateaus, to the west of “la côte”. The substrate is identical to that of the côte, but the superficial formations are very small, almost nonexistent. The clay-limestone soils are the result of the alteration of the limestone and the marls of the substrate.
