Continue Shopping Add to Wish List

Hautes-Côtes de Nuits is a subregion of the Burgundy wine region located to the west of the Côte de Nuits subregion. While Côte de Nuits consists of vineyards located on or close to the main Côte d'Or escarpment, Hautes-Côtes de Nuits covers the area on top of the escarpment, and the adjacent area of various valleys and slopes. Only one appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC), Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, covers the entire subregion; there are no specific AOCs named after villages in this subregion, and also no Premier Cru vineyards. This AOC may be used for red and rosé wines with Pinot noir as the main grape variety, as well as white wines with Chardonnay as the main grape variety, and was created in 1961.

The AOC covers a number of communes in the Côte-d'Or department: 16 communes situated above the escarpment (the actual Hautes Côtes), and the top parts of four communes that are mainly situated in Côte de Nuits. The border between Hautes-Côtes de Nuits and Hautes-Côtes de Beaune to the south passes through Magny-lès-Villers.

Founded in 1981 by Joel Hudelot and Chantal Baillet, this Chambolle-Musigny based estate is now headed by Joel’s son-in-law, Dominique Leguen, a serious advocate for low yields and organic farming.  

"The 2021 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Blanc, which has been in vat since the end of September, has a light apple blossom and pear scented bouquet. The palate is well balanced with light tropical scents, fine extract on the finish and decent length. Cannot argue with this." -Vinous
