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.
