The Côte de Beaune region covers the southern part of Burgundy’s Côte d’Or. The Côte de Beaune starts between Nuits-Saint-Georges and Beaune (whence the name), and extends southwards for about 15.5 miles (25 km) to the River Dheune. The trend of producing red wines continues from the Côte de Nuits to the north, down through Beaune. Farther south lie the great names of white Burgundy such as Meusault and Chassagne-Montrachet. The far south of the district sees a return to red wines in Santenay that continues across the Dheune into the Côte Chalonnaise.
