Long overlooked for their lack of ripeness, the appellation shares the same terroir as the more prestigious mid-slope Premier and Grand Crus, yet its wines are now seen as hidden gems snapped up at far gentler prices.The reason? Climate change. Plain and simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from a small 17-are plot planted in 2003 on clay-limestone soils, 'La Vacherotte' is a testament to patience. With exceptionally low yields and a 2-year ageing period in old oak, this whole-cluster Pinot Noir offers a rare purity. It delivers the vibrant, raw elegance of the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eI personally love its vivid attack, bursting with red fruits, which combined with its purity and raw chewiness delivers a laser-sharp precision on the palate. The tannic structure is restrained and promising. You'll find all the hallmarks of a local Pinot Noir — thoroughbred, with notes of forest floor that carry an almost menthol-like quality. A wine that takes you back to the finest vintages of the Côte de Nuits, such as 2010 👌\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eBurgundy, Côtes de Nuits\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 100% Pinot Noir\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e13%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTotal SO2:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 mg\/L\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eService:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18°C \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe plot “La Vacherotte’ is located at the North of Beaune. 23 years old vineyards. 350m altitude.
