Description of the Cuvée Hautes-Côtes de Beaune La Lave Blanc

The Cuvée Hautes-Côtes de Beaune La Lave Blanc is made mainly from Chardonnay, from vineyards located in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune. This specific terroir, characterized by its limestone soils and its optimal exposure, gives the wine a distinct minerality and remarkable freshness. Meticulously vinified to preserve the natural aromas of the grape variety, the wine is also subtly aged in barrels to enrich its aromatic palette without overwhelming the fruity notes.

Where are we traveling?

Burgundy is a real adventure land for wine lovers! Supported by a predominantly continental climate, Burgundy wines draw their unique character from diverse influences — continental, Mediterranean and oceanic — which intertwine to create a symphony of incomparable flavors. It is this climatic fusion that allows each Burgundy Grand Cru to reveal aromas and flavors that some consider to be the best in the world. From north to south, each Burgundian wine region, from Chablis to Mâconnais, benefits from its own microclimate. In Chablis, winegrowers combat spring frosts by wrapping the vines in a protective cocoon of frozen water. On the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, the hills capture the sunlight, generating hot summers which fill the grapes with sunshine, while the Mâconnais benefits from an almost Mediterranean climate, less prone to frost and drier. This mix of climatic conditions, combined with a diverse geology with more than 400 different soil types, gives each Burgundy wine its own identity. Each bottle is a story of terroir, a story of land and climate, an invitation to explore the rich wine heritage of Burgundy.

The little history of the country

Burgundy

France, home of Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne, is undoubtedly the most important wine producing country in the world. For centuries, it produced wine in greater quantities than any other country. Wine is ingrained in French culture at almost every level of society; it is the drink of the elite and the common people, and a key symbol of Roman Catholicism, the majority religion in France. The diversity of French wines is due, in large part, to the country's wide variety of climates.
