Behind the name lies a young yet committed winery, staffed by professionals who combine traditional practices with an international flair: an approach that prioritizes vineyard quality, controlled ripening, and meticulous cellar management to safeguard the purity of the fruit. The producer's story stems from the idea of ​​transforming the soil's unique characteristics into wines that speak without excess, placing respect for the raw material and consistency between harvest, processing, and aging at the forefront.

Compared to other producers in the same range, this wine stands out for its balance and immediacy, offering a version of Pinot Noir that is both juicy and smooth, with disciplined tannins and an aromatic presence that interacts with a light minerality from the area's limestone terroir. On the palate, it reveals a fluid flavor profile: ripe berries, cherry, and a spicy caress of delicate pepper, accompanied by floral notes and a long finish that invites a second glass. Within the producer's range, the 2022 Coteaux Bourguignons occupies an ideal position between everyday accessibility and the opportunity to discover Domaine Kuheiji's stylistic signature, offering a reliable backdrop for simple tables and convivial moments that require a certain elegance; in line with the STELT positioning.
