DIVINE WINE - the first vineyards in Burgundy to covert to Biodynamics in 1983. This wine comes from a plot named “En Bignon” in Bouze les Beaune and its altitude: 421meters. The plot’s soil is very clayey and red. In Burgundy they say that red soil equals great red wine! Its altitude of 421 meters is important because the plot is in a fresh spot, which is ideal to produce refined wines. From the vineyard you can see the pass of Bessey en Chaume (532m), highest point in altitude between Paris and Marseille by the highway. On the nose, as well as on the palate, this wine combines a lovely altitude freshness (fresh red fruit) with a spicy character typical of a fine Pinot Noir. This wine can be enjoyed as an aperitif with friends but is also at home with charcuterie, shepherd's pie or a vegetable quiche.  Global warming is giving the Hautes Côtes the climate that the Côte de Beaune and the Côte de Nuits used to enjoy in the 1980s. This climate allows the production of fine wines, without too much alcohol, with good acidity and excellent maturity. The future of the Hautes Côtes lies in further revealing the character of these terroirs which are still under-promoted.
