Les Monts Battois Côte de Beaune Domaine Cauvard 1988
Produced by Domaine Cauvard, a Propriétaire Récoltant in Beaune, the 1988 Les Monts Battois is an estate-bottled wine holding the Appellation Côte de Beaune Contrôlée classification. The 1988 vintage achieved a score of 90 points and is characterized as structured and classic, reflecting the traditional conditions of the harvest year.
The wine originates from the Côte de Beaune, which forms the southern half of the Côte d'Or in central France. Stretching approximately 25 kilometers from Ladoix-Serrigny in the north to Maranges in the south, the area features a continental climate with warm summers and cold winters. The east-facing slopes benefit from the morning sun, while the soils consist of limestone, clay, and marl deposits from the Jurassic period. These significant geological variations from parcel to parcel have given rise to an extremely granular classification system, ranging from Regional and Village to Premier Cru and Grand Cru.
Situated within the broader Bourgogne region in eastern France, the viticultural landscape was historically shaped by medieval monks who meticulously mapped the countless terroirs. Bourgogne has turned terroir into an art form with its finely meshed system of climats. Cultivating almost exclusively Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the region relies on its distinct limestone soils to define its renowned appellations.
