Côte de Beaune

A key wine-producing district of Burgundy in the east of France.

The Côte de Beaune area is the southern part of the Côte d'Or, the limestone ridge that is home to the great names of Burgundy wine. The Côte de Beaune starts between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaune, and extends southwards for about 25 km to the river Dheune. The trend of producing red wines continues from the Côte de Nuits to the north, down through Beaune, although the wines become lighter and more perfumed. Farther south lie the great names of white Burgundy such as Meursault and Chassagne-Montrachet.

Product Details

This small village on the Côte de Beaune, along with its neighbour Aloxe-Corton, shares the privilege of producing one of the most prestigious white wines of Burgundy, Corton Charlemagne.

"Les Fichots", very well exposed, ignore the cold winds. They are located below the road to Beaune, nestled between two hills, that of Corton Charlemagne and that of the Iles des Vergelesses.

Undeniably a sign of quality, this wine, which can be kept and is remarkable for its tenderness, finesse and elegance, always surprises the palates of connoisseurs.

Deep red color, subtle aromas mixing black fruits and spices. This well-constituted wine goes perfectly with meat dishes in sauce or a cheese platter.

"The 2019 Pernand-Vergelesses Les Fichots 1er Cru comes from a single 0.16-hectare parcel and sees a small amount of new oak. It has a lovely, very harmonious and pure bouquet of dark cherries, Early Grey and black currant aromas that are neatly enmeshed with the oak. The well-balanced palate shows silky tannins and a fine bead of acidity. Fleshy and poised with a very seductive and classy finish. Real quality and class here. Superb." (Drink between 2022-2035) 91-93 points - Neal Martin
