The Côte de Nuits
The Côte de Nuits begins south
of Dijon and continues for about 20km until just north of
Ladoix Serrigny. It encompasses
numerous famous Villages : Gevrey-Chambertin,
Chambolle Musigny,
Vougeot, Vosne
Romanée, Nuits Saint Georges…
Facing east, it is made up of rugged valleys
with very sparse vegetation at the top, varying in height
from 200 to 300 metres. Its vineyards are unevenly dotted
over a mere 1 500 hectares and produce mainly great red wines
of which 24 are Grands Crus; the famous Romanée
du Château de Vosne Romanée is one of the
prestigious appellations which have made this Côte so
famous.
