Domaine Aegerter - Les Belles Roches 2023

Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, France

Vineyard Story

Creators and Developers: The Aegerters, a father and son team, didn’t inherit an estate; they built it together, each bringing their own knowledge and passion. Domaine Aegerter, located in Nuits-Saint-Georges in the Côte-d’Or, thrives in a region known for its deep-rooted traditions and forward-thinking innovations.

 

At Domaine Aegerter, nature isn’t forced; it’s listened to and nurtured. Each cuvée, from the most accessible to the most exceptional, shares one common trait: it is the result of a bold and modern vision. The finest terroirs of Burgundy deserve nothing less than passionate people, daring enough to break away from convention and offer consumers, whether novices or experts, distinctive selections, new blends, and unique bottles.
