Domaine Battault, Hautes Côtes de Beaune Rouge, 2023

Domaine Battault Hautes Côtes de Beaune Rouge 2023 is a poised Burgundy red that offers excellent value and a fresh, approachable expression of Pinot Noir from the higher-altitude slopes above the Côte de Beaune. Crafted by a family domaine with deep local roots, it reflects the elegance, brightness and subtle complexity that have made these hillside vineyards such a beloved part of Burgundy’s heritage.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a bright ruby-red colour with a clear, lively sheen. The nose leans toward fresh red berries, such as cherry and raspberry, with gentle floral tones, a touch of spice and a light earthy nuance that adds classic Burgundy character. On the palate, it is usually supple and medium-bodied, with juicy red fruit, fine tannins and a refreshing mineral edge that keeps the wine balanced and energetic. The 2023 vintage should make for a charming early-drinking wine, though it may also gain a little extra nuance over the next 3–5 years if properly cellared.

Production
The Hautes Côtes de Beaune vineyards sit on cooler, higher-elevation slopes west of the main Côte d’Or, where limestone and marl soils help preserve freshness and lift in the wines. This hillside terroir is well suited to Pinot Noir, offering a style that is typically lighter and more aromatic than many wines from the heart of the Côte de Beaune. While specific vinification details are not provided, wines of this appellation are generally made with careful parcel selection, gentle extraction and maturation designed to preserve fruit purity and regional elegance.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast chicken, duck breast, charcuterie, mushroom dishes and grilled salmon, as well as softer cheeses such as Brie or Camembert. Serve slightly cool, ideally around 14–16°C, and consider a short decant of 20–30 minutes if drinking young to let the aromatics open up.

Producer
Domaine Battault is a family-owned Burgundy estate associated with the traditional winemaking culture of the Côte de Beaune. The domaine is known for producing authentic, terroir-driven wines that highlight the refinement and freshness of the region, with a focus on classic styles that appeal to both everyday Burgundy drinkers and collectors alike.
