  • Bourgogne France, Appellation Hautes Côtes de Beaune

  • The Hautes Côtes de Beaune appellation is a regional appellation in Burgundy composed of 670 Hectares located in the Côte-d'Or on the upper slopes of Beaune. The terroir is dominated, especially in the south, by marl formations. The slopes, at times very steep, are frequently covered with limestone scree originating from the Bajocian cornices. The plots overlook the Côte de Beaune from the west, from Maranges to Ladoix-Serrigny. Within this area are valleys and hills. The vines at the foot of the limestone cliffs grow on sunny slopes. The villages clinging to the hillsides welcome you in their tiny streets with white stone walls.

    At each twist and turn in these tiny roads, one discovers behind each knoll a new landscape that instills a feeling of happiness with its luminous charm. The area is ideal for hiking, accompanied by wine tastings offered by “vignerons” in traditional cellars. The numerous accommodations will allow you to discover the life and homes of the inhabitants in this charming region.
