The 2010 Bourgogne Hautes-Cotes de Nuits is fleshy, ripe and seductive. Clean mineral notes give lift and brightness to a juicy mid-palate layered with expressive dark red berries. The Hautes-Cotes de Nuits has a little more density and aromatic complexity than the Hautes-Cotes de Beaune. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020. Gilles Jayer’s 2010s are stellar. The harvest stretched into October, late even by the standards of the year. All of the wines were aged in 100% new oak and had not been racked at the time of my tastings. I will report on the 2009s in the April issue. No known American importer.
