The Côte de Beaune area is the southern part of the Côte d’Or the limestone ridge that is home to the great names of Burgundy wine. The Côte de Beaune starts between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaune and extends southwards for about 25 km to the River Dheune. The trend of producing red wines continues from the Côte de Nuits to the north down through Beaune although the wines become lighter and more perfumed.
