Aloxe-Corton is best known for the 160 hectare Grand Cru Corton hill, but the village makes high quality wines
Auxey-Duresses AOC is one of the red and white wine villages of the Côte de Beaune. Around a third of its Pinot Noir production is classified as Premier Cru.
Located between Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, this iconic Grand Cru vineyard boasts gravelly soils above a limestone base and is considered one of the great Chardonnay terroirs.
Although the village of Beaune has no Grand Cru sites at all, it does boast 42 Premier Cru. Following the domaine is perhaps more important at this level, but Les Marconnets, Greves, Clos du Roi and Close des Mouches frequently stand out as consistently excellent sites.
