Hautes Côtes de Nuits 2022 White - Jérémy Recchione

In 2010, Jérémy Recchione began working in Burgundy, notably at the Pierre Naigeon estate, where he discovered with wonder the richness and subtlety of Burgundian climates. He then left for a few months in Australia to explore other horizons and returned to Côte de Nuits in 2013 where he decided, alongside his work as an employee, to vinify his first grapes purchased from winegrower friends. “It is above all a work of passion, that of cultivating and vinifying a natural raw material in order to magnify it to offer a high quality finished product,” he explains with this infectious passion.

For 6 years, Jérémy Recchione patiently learned the trade, experimented, listened and refined his technique. And then, in 2019, it’s the big leap. He acquired a plot of Burgundy Aligoté “Les Cerisiers” located in the town of Messanges (Hautes Côtes de Nuits) and finally created his estate with a very clear line of conduct.

“ The philosophy of the estate is above all to respect nature and what it leaves available to us. We work the vines as healthily as possible. The wines are then vinified naturally. We sort in the vineyard and harvest in small 5 kilo boxes, which allows us to protect the grapes as much as possible and not to alter them. We exclusively use natural yeasts for fermentations. We don't add anything. The use of sulfur is zero or reduced to its maximum. Through our wines, we simply want to bring pleasure and transmit an emotion. » said Jérémy.
