Côte de Nuits

koht duh NWEE

The northern half of the Côte d'Or escarpment, a narrow strip of hillside around 20km long between Dijon and Corgoloin, mainly reputed for red wines from Pinot Noir; the BIVB calls the Côte de Nuits and Hautes Côtes de Nuits the center for the Bourgogne region's Grands Crus.

The Côte de Nuits is the northern sub-region of Burgundy's Côte d'Or escarpment. Jancis Robinson describes it as the northern half of the escarpment, named after its principal town of Nuits-Saint-Georges, and Decanter notes that the Côte d'Or is divided into the Côte de Nuits in the north and the Côte de Beaune in the south. According to the BIVB (Bourgogne Wine Board), its vines grow between Dijon and Corgoloin along a narrow strip of hillside around 20km long and in parts just 200 metres wide. The BIVB says the Côte de Nuits and Hautes Côtes de Nuits mainly produce red wines from Pinot Noir, with fewer whites from Chardonnay and some from Aligoté. The BIVB's list of Village appellations for the Côte de Nuits, some with Climats classified as Premiers Crus, is Marsannay (including Marsannay rosé), Fixin, Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Côte de Nuits-Villages. Its Grands Crus include Chambertin, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze, Clos de Tart, Musigny, Bonnes-Mares, Clos de Vougeot, Romanée-Conti and La Tâche.

Geography and the Villages

The Côte de Nuits runs from north to south between Dijon and Corgoloin. The BIVB describes the vines as growing along a narrow strip of hillside around 20km long and in parts just 200 metres wide, and says some have even named this terroir the Champs-Elysées of Bourgogne. Jancis Robinson lists the principal villages from north to south as Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanée, Flagey-Échezeaux and Nuits-Saint-Georges. North of Gevrey, the BIVB calls Marsannay the "Golden Gate to the Côte de Nuits"; it covers the communes of Chenôve, Marsannay-la-Côte and Couchey, and Fixin lies between Dijon and Gevrey-Chambertin. At the southern end, the BIVB says Corgoloin marks the border between the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. Côte de Nuits-Villages, also known as Vins fins de la Côte de Nuits, is produced in the communes of Fixin, Brochon, Premeaux, Comblanchien and Corgoloin (BIVB). Above the Côte, the Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits vines grow on two plateaus between 300 and 400 metres above sea level, and the BIVB says this area has enjoyed a renaissance since the 1950s. On style, Jancis Robinson writes that Gevrey-Chambertin, Vougeot and Nuits-Saint-Georges tend to produce robust, long-lived wines, while Chambolle-Musigny and Vosne-Romanée epitomise finesse and elegance. The BIVB describes Morey-Saint-Denis as a bridge between the wines of Gevrey-Chambertin and those of Chambolle-Musigny.

Nuits-Saint-Georges includes 41 Premiers Crus Climats and is produced in the communes of Nuits-Saint-Georges and Premeaux (BIVB)

Geology and Terroir

Jancis Robinson notes that in both the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune the best vineyards lie along a narrow band of limestone facing south-east, while lower-lying vineyards with more clay drain less well. The BIVB appellation sheets trace the rock from slope to foot. In Morey-Saint-Denis the soils are limestone and clay-limestone dating from the Middle Jurassic, with white Bathonien Oolite up-slope and fossiliferous Bajocien limestone at the foot. Under the Chambertin Grands Crus the up-slope rocks are of Bathonien origin, while lower down the marls and limestones are Bajocian, with marine fossils on the surface. Farther south, the BIVB says the hill-slopes of Comblanchien and Corgoloin are carved into the hard limestones of the Upper Bathonien, and that the rock under the Vosne-Romanée Grands Crus is hard Premeaux limestone dating from the Jurassic. Soil depth changes within a single vineyard. In the Clos de Vougeot, the BIVB records soil some 40 cm deep at the upper end (about 255 metres), 45 cm in the centre (about 250 metres) and 90 cm in the lower portion (around 240 metres), lying on marl rich in clay and alluvium. In Chambolle-Musigny the slope faces east at 250 to 300 metres with only a shallow covering of soil, but fissures in the hard Jurassic limestone let the roots seek nourishment deep in the sub-soil (BIVB). Exposures vary by village: the BIVB gives east to south-east for Gevrey-Chambertin and Fixin, east for Morey-Saint-Denis and Chambolle-Musigny, and mostly east or south-east for Nuits-Saint-Georges.

Morey-Saint-Denis: white Bathonien Oolite up-slope, fossiliferous Bajocien limestone at the foot; east-facing at 220 to 270 metres (BIVB)
Chambertin: Bathonien rocks up-slope, Bajocian marls and limestones lower down (BIVB)
Comblanchien and Corgoloin: slopes carved into the hard limestones of the Upper Bathonien (BIVB)
Romanée-Conti: brown limestone soils 60 cm deep with a major clay component, over hard Premeaux limestone (BIVB)
Clos de Vougeot: soils from about 40 cm deep at the top to 90 cm at the bottom (BIVB)

The Grands Crus

Describing the Côte de Nuits and Hautes Côtes de Nuits together, the BIVB calls the area the center for the Bourgogne region's Grands Crus and says Pinot Noir is used for the majority of them. Gevrey-Chambertin produces 9 Grands Crus. Chambertin and Clos de Bèze are the crown jewels, and the 7 Climats adjoining them attach the name Chambertin to their own: Chapelle-Chambertin, Charmes-Chambertin, Griotte-Chambertin, Latricières-Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin, Mazoyères-Chambertin and Ruchottes-Chambertin. Charmes-Chambertin and Mazoyères-Chambertin share the same defined area, and Charmes-Chambertin is the name normally used (BIVB). The BIVB says the Clos de Bèze first appears in the year 640 AD as a monastic property and passed to the canons of Langres in 1219; Grand Cru status for Chambertin was granted on 31 July 1937, and its 2022 production area was 13.14 ha. Morey-Saint-Denis has 5 Grands Crus: Clos de Tart, Bonnes-Mares, Clos de la Roche, Clos Saint-Denis and Clos des Lambrays. Chambolle-Musigny has two, Musigny and Bonnes-Mares. Bonnes-Mares is shared with Morey-Saint-Denis, with more of it in Chambolle-Musigny, and covered 14.99 ha in 2022 (BIVB). Musigny's boundaries were formally laid down on 16 April 1929, and in 2022 it had 10.13 ha of red and 0.66 ha of white, the Chardonnay planted by the De Vogüé family (BIVB). Vougeot's Grand Cru is the Clos de Vougeot, founded around 1110 AD by the monks of Cîteaux, who owned it until the French Revolution. The BIVB says its 50.59 ha lie within walls built 5 centuries ago and are now divided among numerous owners; its 2022 production area was 49.43 ha, and it has held Grand Cru status since 31 July 1937. Vosne-Romanée has 6 Grands Crus: Romanée-Conti, Romanée-Saint-Vivant, La Romanée, La Tâche, La Grande Rue and Richebourg. The BIVB says Romanée-Conti takes its name from Prince Conti, who lost his heart to it in 1760, and has always been a singly-held entity, as are La Romanée, La Tâche and La Grande Rue; Romanée-Conti's 2022 production area was 1.81 ha. In the neighbouring commune of Flagey-Échezeaux lie Échezeaux (36.27 ha in 2022) and Grands-Échezeaux (9.06 ha in 2022), both Grands Crus since 31 July 1937 and, like the Clos de Vougeot, founded by the monks of Cîteaux (BIVB).

Monks, Merchants and Growers

Religious houses shaped the Côte de Nuits. The BIVB credits the Cistercians of Cîteaux with founding the Clos de Vougeot and the Échezeaux vineyards, and with establishing the Vougeot vineyards in the 12th century; it says the Benedictine monks of Saint-Vivant de Vergy and the Cistercians of Cîteaux first realised the value of the Vosne-Romanée plots a thousand years ago. The Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin was founded in Nuits-Saint-Georges in 1934 and holds its chapters at the Château du Clos de Vougeot (BIVB). Across Burgundy, Jancis Robinson writes that until the second half of the 20th century most vine-growers sold their grapes to négociants, and that demand for domaine-bottled burgundy changed this. She names Bouchard Père et Fils, Joseph Drouhin and Louis Jadot as négociant examples, and says Bouchard Père et Fils and Faiveley have particularly significant vineyard holdings of their own.

1 Petit Chablis Petit Chablis AOC

Petit Chablis AOC at the lowest tier covers vineyards primarily on Portlandian limestone at upper-slope elevations above 220 metres.

upper-slope elevations above 220 metres

Examples Petit Chablis AOC

Petit Chablis AOC at the lowest tier (introduced 1944) covers vineyards primarily on Portlandian limestone at upper-slope elevations above 220 metres; the formation produces softer, less mineral-driven wines that contrast stylistically with the Kimmeridgian-anchored higher tiers.

From Chablis

Petit Chablis AOC was introduced in 1944.
The Premier Cru count of 40 reflects progressive INAO classifications through the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s with subsequent refinements.
1960s-1970s INAO appellation expansions permitted Portlandian-soiled vineyards to qualify as Chablis AOC; William Fèvre's 1970s campaign for Kimmeridgian-only enforcement did not result in regulatory rollback.
