Perched on the cooler, high-elevation slopes above the Côte, Pierrick Bouley’s 2019 Hautes-Côtes de Beaune brilliantly captures the generous sun of the vintage without losing an ounce of snap. It leaps from the glass with crunchy redcurrant, tart Bing cherry, forest undergrowth, and wild thyme. The palate is energetic and thirst-quenching, delivering mouthwatering acidity, translucent ruby fruit, and chalk-dusted tannins that make it an effortless partner for charcuterie, roast chicken, or bistro-style dining.
