Situated in the northern part of Côte d’Or, the vineyard of Côte de Nuits spreads over 20 km (32 miles) from Dijon to Corgoloin: 1,500 hectares where all the tastes of Côte d’Or are put together.
“Pinot noir” (white juice) and “Gamay” are used in red-wine making; the fame of our vintage red wines resides in the use of the “Pinot”. Its name might come from its similarity with the pine cone; it is indeed a close-grained grape. “Chardonnay” and “Aligoté” are used for white wines.
