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. 

The appellations : Bonnes-Mares, Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits, Chambertin, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze, Chambolle-Musigny, Clos de la Roche, Clos de Tart, Clos de Vougeot, Clos des Lambrays, Clos Saint-Denis, Côte de Nuits-Villages, Echezeaux, Fixin, Gevrey-Chambertin, Grande Rue, Grands-Echezeaux, Marsannay, Morey-Saint-Denis, Musigny, Nuits-Saint-Georges, Richebourg, Romanée, Romanée-Conti, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, Tâche, Vosne-Romanée, Vougeot.
