On the Côte de Nuits, all the harvests are done by hand. Three sorting steps are necessary to select the best fruits. In the vineyard, the cutters make a first selection. The bunches are meticulously cut, put in baskets and transported by porters to the truck. In the truck, the pickers carry out a second sorting. They remove all inferior leaves and clusters. The third sorting is done in the cellar, before fermentation. The grapes are placed on large tables for a final selection.
