"The Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Blanc from PYCM features lovely aromas of grapefruit, lime zest, and fresh white flowers. The texture is light but crisp, and a salty minerality shines through on the palate. The grapes come from three parcels in the Hautes Côtes, named for a nearby nature preserve in Cormot-Vauchignon at over 400 metres elevation—the delayed budbreak at this cool site saved these vines from damage during the frost of 2021. The grapes were fermented in large, older oak casks that have now been racked into tank." 

Vinous,  

"The 2021 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Au Bout du Monde comes from vines that are between 5- and 12-years-old. It has a fragrant nose with Nashi pear and Granny Smith apple, just a touch of wild fennel in the background. The palate is well balanced with sour lemon on the entry, not quite as creamy in texture as the Bourgogne Blanc but here I discern more complexity and terroir on the finish. Very fine" 

Burghound, 

"A broad-ranging nose features notes of mineral reduction, pear, white flower and hints of wood and zest. The sleek, delicious and more mineral-inflected flavors also terminate in a clean and dry but not especially austere finale. This is very good for its level.  *Burghound Outstanding!*"  

Jasper Morris, 

"Pale green. Very little bouquet, just something fresh and leafy. Lime juice cordial in the middle, definitely on the vibrant side. Nice in that style. Drink from 2024-2026." 

Wine Advocate, 

"Another success at the generic level is the 2021 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Au Bout du Monde, a medium-bodied, bright and precise wine evocative of crisp orchard fruit, citrus zest, toasted nuts and white flowers. Combining cut and texture, it's satiny and incisive."
