Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Hadrien Brissaud 2023

The wine

The Pinot Noir vines nestle in the heart of the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits at an altitude of 300 to 500 metres. The clay-limestone soils, combined with a southerly and westerly exposure, provide each vine with all the nutrients required for their healthy development. The Pinot Noir grapes are meticulously hand-picked at peak ripeness and carefully transported to the winery to undergo a rigorous sorting process. The fruit is vinified following a traditional, low-intervention approach, allowing the terroir and grape variety to express all their delicious aromas and personality naturally.
The striking deep garnet-red colour is complemented by a delicate, bewitching bouquet of generous cherry and blackcurrant aromas combined with hints of spice. The ample, round palate reveals perfectly integrated tannins in a velvety texture, leading to a fruity, deliciously persistent finish.
