2023 David Trousselle, Bourgogne, Hautes Cotes de Beaune Cuvee Ambroise

In the high-altitude village of Baubigny, David Trousselle applies a meticulous, organic approach to his six hectares of vines. His 2023 Cuvée Ambroise captures the specific energy of the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune’s limestone soils and southeast exposures. Trousselle keeps the winemaking traditional—hand-harvesting, destemming, and aging in neutral oak—to allow the purity of the fruit to shine. The 2023 vintage provided a perfect duality: summer heat gave the wine ample concentration and supple fruit, while the region's cool nights preserved a spine of vibrant acidity. With its fine-grained tannins and polished structure, this is a textbook example of the elegance found in cooler-climate Burgundy.
