Lecheneaut – Hautes Cotes de Nuits Rouge

The reds of Hautes Côtes de Nuits are the direct descendants of those 18th century burgundies described as “full of fire, uplifting and light, almost all genius” by the Abbé Claude Arnoux who in 1723 published the first book devoted to the wines of Bourgogne.

The color is a somber ruby. The wine features note of raspberry, cherry, and liquorice. Pleasant tannins and good acidity bring finesse and freshness.

Serving suggestions:
Its middle-of-the-road temperament, neither too stiff with tannins nor too fleshy, means that it goes well with meats such as rabbit, lamb or duck.

It can stand salted or mildly spiced dishes (duck à l’orange, tajines…). An adaptable wine that, thanks to its attractive balance, commends itself to a wide range of dishes.

Cheeses: mature Soumaintrain, Nuits d’Or, Reblochon fermier, Morbier.

Serving temperature: 14 to 16°C.
