OriginsRegional appellation, the appellation covers 19 communes in the Côte d'Or. The vineyards of the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits are located in parallel with those of the Côte des Grands Crus de Bourgogne, at a higher altitude (300 to 400 m instead of 250 to 350 m), hence the term "Hautes-Côtes". The Hautes-Côtes de Nuits cover about 735 hectares, of which 600 ha are Pinot Noir.

Alcoholic fermentation for 12 days with 2 pumping over and 2 punching downs per day and a light final hot maceration. Pressing then maturing in barrels for 10-12 months.
