Domaine Delagrange Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Les Crets 2024 Review

One of the best-kept secrets of Bourgogne wineries is the Hautes-Côtes. This designation represents a specific group of regional Appellations d’Origine Contrôlée (AOCs) produced from vineyards situated at higher altitudes and slightly west of Burgundy's most famous escarpment, the Côte d'Or.

"Hautes-Côtes" literally translates to "high slopes," referencing the high elevation hillsides these wines are grown on.  These vineyard sites sit at elevations above 1,200 feet, overlooking the valley floor and sometimes running parallel to the Grand Cru vineyards below. Wines from this prestigious French region can often seem out of reach, and that is true, but with Hautes-Côtes, that changes everything.

This bottling from Domaine Delagrange is a great example of how this appellation can provide great value in Burgundy. Benefiting from its higher elevation, this wine greets you with aromas of cherries and watermelon, along with hints of soil and pepper on the nose. The palate is soft, with a distinct tannic frame that does not interfere with the fruit.
