With 24 Grand Crus divided in a 20-kilometer stretch of land, comprising the northen half of the Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits deserves its surname of Burgundy’s Champs-Elysées. With a high density of clay per square meter dating back to the Jurassic period, it is an incontestable land of Pinot Noir, home to the most renowned appellations in viticulture. Bonnes-Mares, Échezeaux, and Charmes-Chambertin are the perfect illustration of what this region does best. Ever since Claude Marey, in 1760, Château de Pommard has been making wines from the villages of the Côte de Nuits.
