Nicolas Potel Hautes-Côte de Beaune

kr.

Sourced from vineyards located at higher elevations, the Pinot Noir grapes experience a longer ripening period, allowing for the development of nuanced flavors and vibrant acidity. The soils, rich in limestone and marl, impart a mineral backbone to the wine. Fermentation is carried out using indigenous yeasts, followed by aging in French oak barrels, a portion of which are new, to enhance complexity without overshadowing the delicate fruit profile.
