Style

A fresh and elegant Burgundy Pinot Noir, focused on purity, finesse, and drinkability. Light to medium-bodied, with a classic and approachable profile.

Vineyard

Located in the Côte d’Or, sourced from vineyards planted on limestone and clay soils. These terroirs provide balance, freshness, and a fine mineral structure typical of Burgundy.

Winery

Hand-harvested grapes, carefully sorted and gently extracted. Fermented with native yeasts and aged in French oak (mostly used barrels) to preserve fruit purity and finesse.

Nose/Palate

Red berries, cherry, floral notes, and light spice on the nose, followed by a light to medium-bodied palate with bright acidity, soft tannins, fresh red fruit, subtle earthy nuances, and a clean, elegant, highly drinkable finish.

The Côte d’Or is the heart of Burgundy’s wine country, a vineyard-covered escarpment stretching for roughly 60 kilometres from Dijon to Maranges. It is a continuous wine landscape comprising two main subregions: the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune.

The Côte de Nuits is most closely associated with Pinot Noir and some of Burgundy’s most celebrated Grand Cru vineyards, including those of Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée and Chambolle-Musigny. Further south, the Côte de Beaune is renowned for both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with famous villages such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, Volnay and Pommard.

The name Côte d’Or, meaning “Golden Slope,” refers to this historic vineyard belt. Its limestone, marl and clay soils, together with differences in altitude, slope and exposure, create an extraordinary diversity of terroirs.

It is here that Burgundy’s climat system is expressed at its finest: precisely defined vineyard parcels where soil, exposure and microclimate create distinct and often remarkably individual expressions of the same grape variety.

The Côte d’Or is also deeply rooted in Burgundy’s history. Cistercian and Benedictine monks played a major role in developing and identifying its vineyards during the Middle Ages, laying the foundations for the detailed vineyard distinctions that remain central to Burgundy today.

The Côte d’Or is the geographical and cultural heart of Burgundy — a continuous landscape of historic vineyards where Pinot Noir and Chardonnay reveal the extraordinary influence of place.

2024 was a challenging but promising vintage across the Côte d’Or, marked by a very wet growing season, frost and hail, which significantly reduced yields and created high disease pressure. Careful vineyard work and strict selection were essential, while a warmer, drier period in late summer and September allowed the grapes to reach good maturity.

The vintage is characterised by freshness, vibrant acidity and clear terroir expression. Chardonnay shows bright citrus, green and yellow apple, white flowers and fine mineral tension, while Pinot Noir tends towards fresh red fruit, delicate spice and elegant structure.

Compared with the warmer and more generous 2022 and 2023 vintages, 2024 is generally more restrained, linear and energetic, placing greater emphasis on freshness, finesse and precision. The smaller crop and careful selection have resulted in wines with particularly clear definition of site.

2024 Côte d’Or is a vintage of freshness and precision — elegant, mineral and terroir-driven, rewarding the growers who managed the difficult season with care and patience.
