“The beginning was difficult with the frost on 7 and 8 April,” Julie Tollot-Gros tells me as we enter their vat room. Their small but tidy portfolio of wine is tasted directly from stainless-steel vats as per usual. “We have 40% of the white wines and 60% for the red wines. We used candles in the Grand Crus, which is less efficient because of our position in the higher level of the vineyard. Still, the candles allowed us to make 10-15% more than we would have done. The summer was not so easy, as there were showers, though the Hautes-Côtes benefitted after the drought of 2020. It was a lot of work protecting the vineyards. We began picking on 21 September, and we had to do more sorting than in recent years, but only 5% was discarded.”

These wines definitely fit into the “classic” or “transparent” category of Burgundy reds, lighter than usual, though well-balanced and full of charm.
