Description of the Cuvée Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Blanc

The Cuvée Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Blanc from Domaine Bonnardot is made from Chardonnay, harvested in the high altitude vineyards of Hautes-Côtes de Nuits. This specific terroir gives the wine a refreshing acidity and a marked minerality. Vinified to express the finesse and complexity of Chardonnay, this white wine is partly aged in oak barrels to enrich its aromatic palette while preserving its natural elegance.

Aromas of the Cuvée

This wine is distinguished by aromas of green apple, pear and lemon, complemented by floral touches and a subtle note of hazelnut. The oak influence brings a light touch of vanilla and a complexity that supports the fruit without masking it, creating a balanced and engaging aromatic profile.

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.
