Bas des Ees is located near the Village of Marey-les-Fussey. It is the plot closest to the Hautes Côtes de Nuits, but still on the Hautes Côtes de Beaune side. It is surrounded by meadows and is isolated from other vineyards (as with Chagniots, this distance is beneficial, especially against powdery mildew). The plot, therefore, remains healthy, requiring a minimum number of treatments. Given its high altitude of 470 meters, it is the last plot that is harvested. This explains its freshness and tension.
“A glowing pale colour with the lightest of green tints. Immediately in the presence of nobility. A little quality wood – and they will keep one 600 litre barrel for an extra year. The flesh is perfectly balanced throughout with a discreet reduction becoming evident. A happy marriage of apple and citrus, with a very long tingling finish.”
