France
Burgundy
2020

Beautiful plot of .75 hectare planted with 60 year-old vines facing east at an altitude of 340m in the town of Ladoix-Serrigny. The name Coutière comes from the word Côte because it is located on a sloping ground. Reddish-brown soil composed of many limestone-flint debris. Aged 12 months in French oak barrels (30% new oak and 70% barrels of 1 to 2 wines).
