The C\\xf4te de Nuits lies between the city of Dijon in the north and hamlet of Nuits-Saint-Georges in the south (from which the C\\xf4te takes its name). In this small area, you will find most famed, expensive, and best Pinot Noir on earth. Most producers make less than 1,000 cases of wine a year and the prices boggle the mind.

Like the C\\xf4te de Beaune, this is a big topic with so much nuance. Because you can never be reminded enough times, we review the history, geography, and climate of the C\\xf4te d\\u2019Or, with an emphasis on the C\\xf4te de Nuits. After this, we start our way down the C\\xf4te de Nuits (and don\\u2019t make it too far!) we cover:\\xa0
