This week's flash sale is a Cabernet from way down South
Hoffmann-Jayer’s distinctive and complex Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Blanc is a blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Blanc from a one-hectare parcel in Magny-lès-Villers’ Les Vallerots lieu-dit planted in the early 1950s. Two-thirds of the cuvée spends 15 months in new low-toast 350-liter barrels, and one-third ages in terracotta jar; it is then assembled and allowed to settle for six months in steel. Structured, saline, and stony, the finished wine clearly reflects the stone-riddled, steeply inclined site in which the vines are planted.
Burghound Review:
Lemony aromas of pear, apple and discreet spice wisps complement the succulent and unusually concentrated flavors that are quite powerful in the context of what is typical for the Hautes Côtes, all wrapped in a complex and lingering finale where the only nit is a touch of rusticity. Overall, this is excellent for its level and recommended. Drink 2023+
