Wine Regions of the world : Burgundy - Cote de Beaune

The Cote de Beaune (coat de bone) is the southern part of the Cote d'Or. It is in this place that terroir plays a major role as the soil is fairly diverse in this region. The same hierarchy exists as in Cote de Nuits. Corton is the only red Grand Cru. This area also produces some great white Grand Crus like Corton- Charlemagne and Chevalier- Montrachet.

Next to these are the Villages and Premier Crus and the names of the villages read like a who's who of the wine world- Pommard, Volnay, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet are all right up there. Besides these there are the Haut Cote de Beaune wines. The city of Beaune has a very famous hospital whose wines are sold to make money for its upkeep. The Hospices de Beaune auction happens on the third Sunday of each Novemeber and attracts large crowds.
