Côte d'Or Region

An important part of Burgundy is the Côte d'Or, a ridge of low hills which extends from Dijon to Chagny, with a series of villages whose names are a roll-call of Burgundy - Chenove, Brochon, Gevrey-Chambertin, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-St-Georges, Aloxe-Corton, Pommard, Volnay, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Santenay.

The region is divided into the Côtes de Nuits, named after Nuits-St-Georges and located on the northern section of the slope of hills, the Côte de Beaune commune in the south and, in the west, the Hautes Côtes.
