THE WINE
Picked from a plot of Pinot Noir planted in the 1960s on sandy soils (thus the name).  South facing and surrounded by forest and grazing cows this wine presents a juicy style of pinot with soft tannins, brighter acidity and a long finish. 
 
THE PEOPLE
Working 7 micro parcels totalling just under 3 hectares scattered across the hills of the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, with Beaune's signature limestone as the bedrock beneath each, Morgane and Christian are part of the young new face of Burgundy and to say they make truly 'handmade' wine would not be doing it justice.
 
There is no mechanisation in the vineyards, only horses used or, when the vineyards are too steep, they are only worked by hand. They choose to spray raw milk on the vines instead of sulfur and no pumping or filtration is used. Grapes are pressed in an old, wood-beam, vertical screw press, and aged in neutral oak under their house.
 
The paper used for their labels comes from an old-fashioned paper mill of Fontaine de Vaucluse from the Moulin Vallis Clausa. It is composed of cotton, linen, hemp and inserted flowers. Morgane cuts out her labels, stamps the drawing of a bird drawn by her and then manually graphs the name. All bottle labels are applied by hand.
 
THE PLACE
Hautes‑Côtes de Beaune, perched on the high plateaus above the Côte de Beaune, is emerging as one of Burgundy’s most exciting up-and-coming regions. Its higher altitude and cooler climate produce slower-ripening grapes with bright acidity, elegant aromatics, and subtle minerality, giving both reds and whites a fresh, refined, and food-friendly profile. Historically overlooked, the region is now attracting serious investment from established and younger growers, with climate shifts enhancing its ability to preserve freshness in a warming world. Critics highlight Hautes‑Côtes wines for their finesse, approachability, and excellent value, making the region a compelling alternative to pricier Côte de Beaune villages and premier crus.
