Hautes Cotes de Nuits 2021

Description

Hautes Cotes de Nuits is a still red AOC wine with a refined character and a fruity aftertaste. This spirit is produced in France, specifically in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, located in the central Burgundy region. The producing winery, known as Domaine Marchand Frères, is a family-run business passed down from generation to generation: alongside it, a winemaking tradition dating back to the 19th century is carried on with professionalism and passion. The current owner is Claude Marchand, who has led the company to significant commercial expansion since 1983. Hautes Cotes de Nuits is produced entirely from Pinot Noir grapes. During the harvest period, the must obtained from the grapes is extracted manually, while the vinification process is carried out using stainless steel containers: here, cold maceration takes place, after which alcoholic fermentation begins, lasting 10 to 12 days. The next step is malolactic fermentation in barrels, in which the malolactic acid of the ethyl compound is transformed into lactic acid thanks to the action of bacteria. The final phase consists of aging, a procedure in which the wine is left for 18 months in oak barrels.

From this winery

The winegrower MARCHAND was born on February 24, 1813 in Morey-St-Denis where Pierre Marchand, a small winegrower from Reuille-Vergy located on the upper Côte de Nuits, married Marie Jacotier who had inherited a vineyard from her deceased father three years earlier. In 1815 a son, also named Pierre, was born and whose namesake died on the day of his eighth birthday.

Undeniably, the work of building up a profitable wine business was shouldered prematurely by youg Pierre who, before his death in 1871, had a son François, born in 1848, who eventually took over the vineyard.

Afterwards came François'son François-Joseph, know by Joseph, who was succeded by Emilie, father of Claude the present owner. In 1983, the property grew to include an 18 th century winegrower's house located in the heart of Gevrey-Chambertin.

Since 1999, Denis, Claude's second son, has taken over from his father. Read more
