A delicate white Burgundy, bursting with aromas and delicacy, just the treat for your aperitifs.
More infoThis white Hautes-Côtes de Beaune is made from Chardonnay grapes grown in clayey soil. The 20-year-old vines are cultivated biodynamically, and the grapes are harvested by hand. Fermentation is carried out in oak casks with native yeasts.
This wine displays a pale yellow colour with golden hues, creating a discreet elegance. The nose opens with fresh, delicate aromas of white flowers, lemon and green apple, complemented by a subtle touch of honey and a pronounced minerality. The attack is lively and fresh on the palate, with a lovely acidity enhancing flavours of citrus fruit and white peach. A light buttery note adds complexity to the elegant, nicely balanced texture. The finish is long and persistent, marked by a feeling of purity and finesse.
This wine pairs perfectly with seafood, grilled fish or soft cheeses.
About the Producer François de Nicolaÿ
Having lived in Paris for a few years, François de Nicolaÿ, chose to take over the running of the family domain in Savigny-lès-Beaune (Chandon de Briailles) in the early 2000s. Alongside this prestigious estate, he decided to start his own wine trading business under his own name – François de Nicolaÿ.
For these wines, he uses grapes that are certified organic or biodynamic so that he can show off their full characteristics and the terroirs where they grow. Vinification and ageing are conducted naturally without any additives (some wines are natural while others have a bit of sugar added to them) in an old cellar in Savigny-Lès-Beaune. There is no pumping over or punching down, neither is the wine filtered or clarified. Tasting these wines will leave you wanting more; they are delicious with an airy character. We also enjoy them for their purity.
As the business grows as does the range while the prices remain reasonable for the appellations.
