Côte de Beaune

La Côte de Beaune is one of the two major subregions of the Côte d'Or, in the heart of Burgundy, extending from Ladoix-Serrigny in the south to Cheilly-lès-Maranges. Renowned for the balance between high-quality white and red wines, this area is an essential reference point for understanding the complex and refined identity of Burgundy wines.

On its hillsides, limestone, marl, and clay soils alternate, which, along with varied exposures and microclimates, allow Chardonnay to express itself in bright, broad, and structured versions. Here, some of the world's most iconic whites are born: Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, and Chassagne-Montrachet are names that evoke elegance, mineral depth, and longevity.

But the Côte de Beaune is also land of great Pinot Noir. The designations of Pommard, Volnay, Beaune, and Savigny-lès-Beaune produce reds of character, capable of combining aromatic finesse, tension, and complex evolution over time. In the north, the reds, more robust and structured, prevail, while moving south, the white component gradually becomes predominant.

Alongside the most famous designations, there are lesser-known villages and crus that deserve attention for their excellent relationship between quality and personality, such as Auxey-Duresses, Saint-Romain, Monthélie, and Pernand-Vergelesses. The presence of prestigious Grand Crus such as Corton and Corton-Charlemagne confirms the qualitative level of this area, cradle of centuries-old savoir-faire and contemporary experiments.

La Côte de Beaune thus represents a fascinating mosaic of styles and interpretations, where each wine tells its place of origin with precision and authenticity.
