Hautes Cotes de Nuits, Rouge, Les Dames Huguette, 2021
Saline and lovely. Lively. Mineral. Fine red fruits with some floral notes. The most structured and focussed of the three Haut Côtes with a rockier, tighter core. This is really quite serious, with a glowing minerality at heart. Superb. A vineyard situated at the top of a slope above NSG whose rows are planted east west, neighbouring Chaumes, with an even greater proportion of limestone in the soils.
critic reviews
The 2021 Bourgogne Hautes-Cotes de Nuits Les Dames Huguette is a success, exhibiting aromas of raspberries, rose petals and orange zest, followed by a medium-bodied, supple and seamless palate that's open and charming, concluding with a saline finish.
The 2021 Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits Les Dames Huguette is initially quite bashful on the nose, dark berry fruit intermingling with brown spices and orange blossom, gently unfolding with aeration. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity. Taut and fresh, this the most elegant of Cathiard's Hautes-Côtes with a precise finish. Excellent.
