The Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Nuits cuvée comes from a plot located at "Les Mouchettes" in Villers-La-Faye. It boasts an energetic burst of fruit aromas, with notes of raspberry and a hint of blackcurrant, complemented by crisp acidity.
This wine is much more open compared to the regular Bourgogne due to an earlier malolactic fermentation. It finishes with a long and elegant touch. On average, the yield is about 55 hectoliters per hectare, resulting in an annual production of 6000 bottles.

Henri Felettig started his journey in 1965 with 2 hectares of vineyards inherited from his parents. Initially, these grapes were sold to the local cooperative, but from the vintage of 1969, he decided to produce his own wine.
From 1973, Henri and Reine expanded their vineyard area. They acquired and leased additional parcels of land, steadily expanding their vineyard to 9 hectares in 20 years.
In 1993, a significant shift occurred as a partnership was formed between Henri, Reine, and their children, Christine and Gilbert.
This transformed the operation into a family-run winery, ensuring the estate’s heritage.
Their vineyards now cover 13 hectares, with a commitment to sustainable practices. Their estate produces acclaimed Burgundy wines, including appellations like Vosne-Romanée, and Nuits-Saint-Georges, as well as Premier Crus such as Les Carrières, Les Lavrottes, and Les Charmes.
Therefore, they work diligently throughout the year in their vineyard to obtain the best possible grapes, in order to intervene as little as possible during the winemaking process.
The grapes are harvested after rigorous sorting and go through cold pre-fermentation maceration for 6 to 7 days, depending on the vintage and appellation.
