Christophe Pertuzot's Hautes-Côtes de Nuits is one of the best value wines in Burgundy on an annual basis, and his 2021 is typically blue-black in fruit profile, with a vitality and structure that hints at its more vaunted neighbors at lower elevation. Best of all, because 2021 yielded fresher, finer wines, there's an aromatic lift missing from previous hot vintage efforts. Sustainable viticulture.
