Les Rouards Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Pinot Noir
Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
Edouard Delaunay – Pinot Noir – 2023
Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits AOC – Burgundy, France 🇫🇷
Overview
100% Pinot Noir from higher-altitude sites west of the Côte de Nuits, where cooler conditions preserve freshness and aromatic clarity. A refined, terroir-driven Burgundy showing surprising precision and balance for the appellation.
Aromas & Flavors
Red cherries, cranberry, and raspberry with subtle rose petal, light earth, and a gentle herbal lift. Bright fruit rather than extraction, with a whisper of oak spice on the finish.
Mouthfeel
Light-medium body with lively acidity, silky tannins, and a clean, elegant structure. Refreshing, delicate, and quietly complex, more finesse than power.
Food Pairings
Roast chicken, seared duck breast, mushroom risotto, Comté, charcuterie, or classic French bistro fare.
Verdict
A graceful and well-made Bourgogne with purity, balance, and lift. Understated and charming; perfect for Burgundy fans who enjoy subtlety over opulence.
Did You Know?
Hautes-Côtes de Nuits vineyards sit 100–150m higher than the Côte d’Or, giving wines naturally higher acidity and fresher aromatics, traits increasingly prized in modern Burgundy.
