Côte de Nuits

It takes us about two hours to drive to the town of Beaune, the bustling Burgundian wine town at the centre of the Côte d’Or. It’s an area we love, and first visited about 15 years ago. We decided it would make a great place for a short trip for a couple of nights.

Our first destination was the town of Nuits St George’s. A place extremely well known for its Burgundy reds. There is a rather large producer which we wanted to visit called Moillard, they have been producing wines since 1850, and make some beautiful strong reds, which we were looking for. We did a really good tasting here of 7 wines. We then took a detour to the small village nearby of Vosne-Romanée, to take a look in a small cooperative that operates from a shop in the centre of the village. We tried just 2 wines here, which were both very pleasant. All in all a couple of successful tastings.
