The Cote de Beaune is more temperate then the Cote de Nuits and is much wider and flatter. The lower plateau has deep soils made up of limestone and clay or shale. This is where the great red appellations are based, such as Pommard and Beaune. To the south of the Cote de Beaune the top white appellations such as Meursault are based on complex soils of limestone and gravel.
Tasting notes: Bourgogne Blanc "les Sétilles" comes from a blend of vineyards in the villages of Puligny-Montrachet (60%) and Meursault (40%).The vineyard, in which we own certain parcels, adjoin communal appellations.The calcareous clay vineyards face southeast to south on flatter land.Thanks to our loyal suppliers for many years, this wine has been very successful, probably owing to the finesse and elegance it offers - a sign of its Cote d’Or origins.
Tasting notes: Ruby red with still youngish purple at the rim. Medium bodied with good acidity. Sweet red fruits on the attack with some animalistic flavours and a bit of woody spice on the finish. Enjoyable.
