After the "Hautes-Côtes de Nuits" and "Hautes-Côtes de Beaune" obtained AOC status in 1961, the Glantenet family turned to wine growing which had previously just been a sideline. Raymond Glantenet, the grandfather, and Jean Glantenet, the father, doubled the size of the vineyard area. At the time the entire harvests were being sold to wine traders. Since 1997, Jean-François, the son, assisted by his wife Valérie, has been running the Domaine and has taken it in a new direction: the vineyards are managed using sustainable practices and the wine is sold in bottles. Definitely a step above your average entry level Bourgogne this Pinot has beautiful aromatics featuring white pepper, cranberries, raspberries and red plum. The structure is delicate and refined.
