Nuits St Georges
 

The village of Nuits Saint Georges gives its name to the Côte de Nuits. The Côte de Nuits starts just south of Dijon to the edge of Cote de Beaune.

Nuits Saint Georges produces mostly red wines. Red Côte de Nuits are robust and elegant. Their bouquet is intense and fragrant.

The other villages producing Côte de Nuits are Chambertin, Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot and Vosne-Romanée (see Romanée-Conti).
