Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Pinot typically shows red cherry, raspberry, light earth, and a touch of forest floor with bright acidity and modest tannins. The 2018 vintage in Burgundy was warm and produced ripe, generous wines. This appellation produces a lighter, more accessible style than Côte de Nuits proper.
