Description
100% Pinot Noir
“Cuvée K” is Hervé Kerlann’s signature expression of the Hautes Côtes. This wine is defined by its energy and “crunchy” red fruit character. Sourced from south-facing plots on clay-limestone soils, it offers a more vertical and mineral structure than the “Au Village” Côte d’Or bottling.
In 2022, the fruit reached perfect phenolic ripeness while maintaining a low pH, creating a wine that is both fleshy and incredibly refreshing.
The WineKin Tasting Profile
The Look: A bright, luminous ruby with clear pomegranate reflections.
The Nose: Precise and high-toned. Expect an immediate burst of wild cherries, pomegranate, and redcurrant, followed by delicate notes of peony, white pepper, and a stony, flinty minerality.
The Palate: Lean and “nervy” in the best way. The 2022 fruit is succulent, offering tart cranberry and plum flavors, framed by very fine, “chalky” tannins and a bracing acidity.
The Finish: Energetic and long, leaving a clean, mineral-driven trail of citrus zest and fresh herbs.
