Côte d'Or
The golden slope
What many do not realise is how small the Côte d’Or is. The département of Côte d’Or is fairly big, but the strip of land that has made Burgundy world famous for its wines is only a small part of that. It runs from the outskirts of Dijon down to Santenay and Maranges; 50 kilometres interrupted by a number of small villages. At the most it is a couple of kilometres wide; in some cases only a few hundred metres.
The Côte d'Or is divided in two parts – the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. The former is centered around Nuits-Saint-Georges and stretches from Marsannay in the north down to the border between Corgoloin and Ladoix-Serrigny. The latter is south of the Côte de Nuits, with Beaune as its centre, going all the way down to the three Maranges – Cheilly-lès-Maranges, Dezize-lès-Maranges and Sampigny-lès-Maranges.
