Ep 465: The Cote de Nuits of Bourgogne (Burgundy) Part 2

Published: March 13, 2023, 4 p.m.

b'

This week\\u2019s show covers the southern part of the C\\xf4te de Nuits, south of Gevrey-Chambertin. In this part of the C\\xf4te de Nuits you will find some of the most famed, expensive and coveted Pinot Noir on earth. We start with a recap of episode 464 to tie these two shows together. Then we work our way through the southern half of the C\\xf4te de Nuits. Like the first show, this is quite a download and we try to provide a structure for understanding this study in terroir, and what matters most when thinking about Burgundy\'s Pinot Noir.\\xa0

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.
