Cote de Nuits
 

Côte de Nuits is not an appellation but a wine region producing great red wines such as Chambertin, Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée and Nuits Saint-Georges. They are all robust and elegant red wines with an intense and fragrant bouquet.

The Côte de Nuits Villages appellation applies to the wines coming from Prémeaux to Corgoloin just south of Nuits Saint Georges. The 'terroir' there is known for the purity of the limestone. A few wines from Fixin are also in the appellation. Côte de Nuits Villages are great value red wines, very fruity and should be drunk before 5 years.
