Classic Burgundian charm from the hills west of Beaune. Domaine Georges Joillot’s Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Rouge captures the freshness and perfume of Pinot Noir grown at higher altitude. The wine shows bright ruby color and aromas of wild cherry, raspberry, and red currant, lifted by notes of spice, rose, and subtle oak. The palate is juicy and fine, with silky tannins and lively acidity that give structure without weight.
