Hautes-Côtes de Nuits "La Roche"

Presentation

Presentation
This soil with a good proportion of limestone offers always some wine with a good freshness. It’s not a wine to age for a long time because the altitude never gives a big density but more some fresh fruit and flowers.
The grapes are always picked at least 1 week later after the harvest in the Côtes de Nuits to have a good maturity.
