Nuiton-Beaunoy “Au Meix Genets” Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune – A Refined Expression of Pinot Noir
Authentic Burgundy Craftsmanship
Discover the charm of the Nuiton-Beaunoy “Au Meix Genets” Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune, a wine that captures the essence of Burgundy’s exceptional terroir. Produced by the cooperative of winegrowers united under the Nuiton-Beaunoy name, this Pinot Noir reflects decades of passion and expertise cultivated in the Côte d’Or since 1957. The vineyard lies in the commune of Echevronne, perched at 435 meters, where cool breezes and eastern exposure help the grapes achieve perfect ripeness.
Vineyard and Terroir
The vines thrive in chalky clay soils with a touch of sand, giving the grapes their characteristic depth and structure. These high-trained Pinot Noir vines, generously spaced to capture sunlight, produce fruit that balances elegance and intensity. This high-altitude location contributes freshness and aromatic precision, essential traits of fine Burgundy wines.
Traditional Winemaking and Aging
The Nuiton-Beaunoy team follows a meticulous winemaking process. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve fruit purity. The wine then ages on its lees for 10 to 12 months in French oak barrels. This careful aging enhances roundness and introduces subtle notes of vanilla and spice without overwhelming the fruit.
Tasting Experience
In the glass, the wine reveals an intense purple hue, a sign of youthful vibrancy. The nose opens with aromas of cherries and strawberries, elegantly intertwined with hints of vanilla from the oak. On the palate, it offers a silky texture with a fine tannic structure. Layers of ripe red fruit unfold gracefully, leading to a smooth, lingering finish. Enjoy it at 16–18°C for the best expression of its character.
Serving and Pairing Suggestions
This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roasted duck, grilled salmon, or mushroom risotto. It’s also delightful alongside a selection of soft cheeses. The wine’s balance of freshness and depth makes it ideal for both everyday enjoyment and special occasions.
