Born from a passionate friendship, the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune produced by Domaine AMI offers aromas of red and black fruits, with floral and spicy touches, embodying the essence of natural Burgundy wine.
More infoThe Hautes-Côtes de Beaune from Domaine AMI is crafted from approximately two hectares of vines rooted in the region’s characteristic clay-limestone soils. The hand-harvested Pinot Noir grapes undergo direct pressing to capture the fruit’s purity. Fermentation occurs in oak casks, followed by 12 months of ageing, allowing the wine to develop its complexity and unique character.
On the nose, it presents aromas of gently ripe red and black fruits, complemented by floral and spicy notes. On the palate, this exquisite wine reveals remarkable depth, perfectly balanced acidity, and a long, persistent finish. It pairs exceptionally well with roasted poultry, such as free-range chicken or spiced duck, which enhance its fruity aromas. It also complements dishes with mushrooms, think cep risotto or a wild mushroom fricassée.

About the Producer AMI (Willy Roulendes et Paul Perarnau)
After moving to Burgundy, Paul Perarnau and Willy Roulendes sealed their friendship forever when they founded Domaine AMI.
After graduating in viticulture and oenology, Willy decided to learn from the best. This led him to the Domaine de Montille near Volnay. During this period, he discovered and fully embraced the strict principles of biodynamic practices. He then headed to Auxey-Duresses to hone his already polished skills by working at Clos du Moulin aux Moines.
Meanwhile, after a spell in England working for an importer, Paul returned to France and headed for Provence, to work at the renowned Dominique Hauvette’s estate. He completed his training with three years in Champagne, where he worked in Bruno Paillard’s vineyard.
The pair who became friends when they met at the Clos du Moulin aux Moines decided to create their own domain, which now boasts fives hectares of vines. The entire operation is organic, with no chemical fertilisers or additives. What’s more, the estate’s trading business has been developed on this time. This allows the winemaking duo to expertly harness all the nuances of the Burgundian terroir.
