Côte de Beaune is situated on the hill overlooking the city of Beaune. This appellation should not be confused with Côte de Beaune-Villages (a blend of various villages from the Côte de Beaune).
The fruit is handpicked and sorted before fermentation in French oak barrels (10% in new oak).for 12 to 15 months.
The 2013 Côte de Beaune shrugs off the hail damage and offers plenty of rounded red currant and Morello fruit on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with a fine structure, good definition, harmonious, if missing just a little flesh on the austere finish. But there is a sense of control here that is very appealing.
Drink 2016-2021.
Tasting note by Véronique Boss-Drouhin
"A true delight and a great harmony! A beautiful purple colour. On the nose, delicate and fruity aromas such as strawberry and red currant. On the palate, the tannins are refined and lend a nice roundness to the body. Elegant aftertaste".
