France - Burgundy

Côte de Nuits

A Karen Brown Recommendation

From Dijon begins the wine region of the prestigious Côte de Nuits. The wine estates date back to 10^th-century abbeys whose monks first planted vineyards predominately with the Pinot Noir grapes. Much of the 3,000 hectares are enclosed behind stone walls and the vineyards are referred to as Clos. Chambertin, Clos de Vougeot, and Romanée Conti represent Burgundy’s Grands Crus and are located here. Further up the slopes, 550 hectares producing fine Burgundies are referred to as Hautes-Côtes de Nuits.
