The Coteaux Bourguignons appellation area merges with that of the Burgundy appellation. It covers 384 communes in the departments of Yonne, Côte d'Or, Saône et Loire and Rhône. From the Chablis and Auxerrois regions in the north to the Mâconnais region in the south, the grapes for this lovely cuvée were harvested in the rounded valleys of the Mâconnais vineyards. 3,000 hectares are dedicated to growing Coteaux Bourguignons Rouges.
The grapes are harvested by hand from vineyards with south-east and south-facing slopes, at altitudes of between 200 and 400 metres, on soils of clay and marl with hints of granite.
The Gamay grapes are vinified in the Burgundy style to give it structure and elegance, while retaining its pleasant crispness and fruitiness. The grapes are completely destemmed. Maceration and fermentation at controlled temperature, with punching down twice a day. Two weeks in vats at an average temperature of 25-28°C. After pressing, the temperature was lowered and the wine was transferred to stainless steel tanks in order to preserve as much of the fruit as possible. Malolactic fermentation took place at 100% to soften the wine.
The ideal weather conditions in Burgundy in 2023, characterised by a favourable spring, a hot summer with cool nights, moderate rainfall and an early autumn harvest, played a key role in the high yields and exceptional quality of the grapes at harvest time.
The white wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and liveliness. Subtle aromas of white fruit, citrus and floral notes add to their remarkable freshness.
The red wines are powerful and well-balanced, with aromas of red and black fruit, as well as spicy and mineral nuances. The silky tannins add an elegant structure, promising harmonious ageing.
In short, these are expressive, fruity wines with very fine aromatic profiles.
