Drink it now or cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant it, but best to open it half an hour before service.

Founded way back in 1596 in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Domaine Guy & Yvan Dufouleur is a long-standing family winery run today by Guy's son Yvan, with the help of his wife Gaelle. The company, which sold the negociant branch of their business in 2006, focuses its work only on wines produced from grapes grown on the 28 hectares of the estate spread between the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune.

The grapes come from vineyards with an average age of about 30 years distributed over 8 plots in the Hautes Cotes, Concoeur, Chaux, and Meuilley, at an altitude of 350 meters on poor and stony calcareous clay soils. Fermentation takes place in thermoregulated tanks for about a month and 12 months in old oak barrels.

The Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits 16eme Generation Blanc has a bright ruby color. Its aromatic profile is fresh and fragrant with notes of blackcurrant, raspberries, and cherry. Round and elegant structure will allow it to age well. Try it with grilled red meat, game birds or maybe soft cheese.
