Forget rustic, this Côteaux is silk. From a tiny plot planted just before World War II, ‘Aux Batailles’ is all cherry blossom and soft strawberry, with hints of violet, vanilla, and spice. It’s 70% Pinot Noir, a rare ratio for this AOC, and it shows in the poise and perfume. Gentle oak ageing brings a whisper of texture, but the tannins stay gossamer-light. It’s floral, juicy, and glides across the palate like it’s been waiting 80 years for this moment.
