The Côte d’Or is the heart of Burgundy and one of the most revered wine regions in the world.
This narrow escarpment is divided into the Côte de Nuits, known for powerful and complex Pinot Noir, and the Côte de Beaune, famous for both elegant Pinot Noir and some of the world’s greatest Chardonnay.
The region’s patchwork of vineyards, many classified as Grand Cru and Premier Cru, highlights the concept of terroir more than almost anywhere else on earth.
Wines from the Côte d’Or are often prized for their balance, aging potential, and ability to express subtle differences in vineyard site.
