Reviewed June 2025An unusually ripe nose, at least for the Hautes Côtes offers up smoky notes of both white and yellow peach. There is once again very good energy, if limited mid-palate density, to the lightly stony flavors that exhibit a touch of youthful austere on the ever-so-mildly firmer finale. This too could be enjoyed young for the fruit or held for 2 to 3 years first.

Foudres and 600 litre barrels. Mid lemon yellow, with notable ripeness on the nose, even some bacon fat – picked later after the heat spurt had done its work. However very far from heavy or heated on the nose, with clean cut Hautes Côtes character dominating the middle before the return of a honeyed citrus note to finish. Drink from 2026-2028. Tasted Oct 2024.

The 2023 Hautes Côtes de Beaune Blanc Jardin du Calvert is made of the last fruit to be picked. Subtle wet pavement scents percolate through the malic fruit on the nose, although it's perhaps not quite as comely as the Bourgogne Blanc this year. The palate is well balanced with a crisp bead of acidity, fine complexity, light apricot and citrus peel notes with a harmonious finish. This is very fine for its class.(NM)
Notes
Bill Nanson Burgundy Report: "We bought a domaine in the Hautes Côtes behind Le Rochepot after the 2014 harvest – the esprit here is a little like St.Romain.’ 4-500 m of altitude here, made in foudres. More direct – showing its freshness more. Vibrant, still gassy – more chiselled style – more strict and I love that. What an excellent Bourgogne – practically great."(09/2024)
