Domaine Cornu Hautes Côtes de Nuits Rouge 2023 showcases classic Burgundian Pinot Noir from the village of Magny-lès-Villers with Alex Cornu’s signature organic touch and minimal intervention philosophy. Crafted from 25-30 year old vines planted across five distinct plots on clay and limestone soils, this beauty delivers exceptional growing season fruit with vibrant concentration and remarkable balance. Raspberries, cherries and black fruits burst forward with delicate violet notes creating an inviting aromatic profile that captivates immediately.

The palate shows mouthwatering juiciness with red and black fruit intensity wrapped in excellent drive and focus, revealing neither excessive tannins nor heavy structure. 100% destemmed and fermented with wild yeasts before 18 months maturation in second and third use French oak, the Hautes Côtes de Nuits Rouge presents texture and calm, relaxed fruit with integrated tannins. This well-behaved Pinot showcases the purity and soul that defines Domaine Cornu wines at bargain burgundy pricing.

Pair this versatile red with roasted chicken, turkey or white meats where its pleasant balance and moderate weight shine beautifully. The wine’s vibrant fruit character also stands up brilliantly to slightly spicy cuisine, making it dangerously food-friendly across multiple dishes.
