Burgundy, France
Wine description:
This 2024 Hautes-Côtes de Beaune from Ropiteau Frères represents modern Burgundy – honest, terroir-driven, and with an accessibility that makes it ideal for both the wine list and the wine rack. The wine is produced from 100% Chardonnay and comes from high-altitude parcels on the slopes west of the Côte de Beaune, where the climate is cooler and ripening happens slowly, creating wines with freshness, structure, and finesse.
In the glass, the wine appears with a light golden color and greenish hues. The nose is fresh and inviting with notes of lemon, white peach, and green apples, accompanied by white flowers and a slight chalky touch. Subtle hints of almond and freshly baked bread round off the bouquet and reveal discreet contact with oak – used with a light hand to preserve the grape's pure expression.
The palate is lively and precise with a fine balance between fruit and acidity. It has a medium body and a fresh minerality that provides a firm grip on the palate. The texture is slightly creamy with a fresh, citrus-driven finish that testifies to the wine's high, cool origin. It is a wine that appears both classic and accessible – obvious for both light food and as an aperitif.
About the area – Hautes-Côtes de Beaune:
Hautes-Côtes de Beaune is located in the higher terrains west of well-known villages such as Meursault, Pommard, and Volnay. Here, at an altitude of up to 450 meters, the cooler temperatures and stronger wind conditions give the Chardonnay grape a different expression: more focus on freshness, lively acidity, and floral notes rather than richness and depth. Wines from here are becoming increasingly popular as affordable alternatives to classic Côte de Beaune wines – especially when, as here, they are managed with care by an experienced producer like Ropiteau Frères.
Food pairing:
Perfect at 10–12 °C. Enjoy with dishes such as steamed mussels, grilled vegetables with lemon vinaigrette, poached fish, or mild cheeses like Saint-Nectaire.
Alcohol: 12.5%
Aging potential: 3–5 years
