The Côte de Nuits is the northern half of the Cote d’Or wine region in Burgundy (the southern half being the Côte de Beaune). It specialises in red wines made predominantly from Pinot Noir, which accounts for around 95 percent of all wine produced here. The most famous and expensive bottles come from the grand cru vineyards of Vosne-Romanée and Chambolle-Musigny. The former is known for rich, silky red wines, while the latter generally produces more elegant expressions of Pinot Noir.
In the northern half of the district, Gevrey-Chambertin is noted for full-bodied red wines and boasts nine grand cru vineyards. Morey-Saint-Denis wines are similar in style; it is the site of five grand crus. Vougeot is most strongly associated with the walled Clos de Vougeot grand cru. Flagey-Echezeaux is a hamlet next to Vosne-Romanée with a pair of grand crus. The principal town within the district is Nuits-Saint-Georges. This was known as Nuits until it adopted the name of its most prominent vineyard, Les Saint-Georges, in the late 19th Century. Its wine zone contains no grand crus, but a number of well-regarded Nuits-Saint-Georges Premier Cru sites.
Marsannay (known for its rosés) and Fixin are genrally regarded as secondary communes in the Côte de Nuits. They lie between Gevrey-Chambertin and the city of Dijon.
In 2021, Pinot Noir yields were marginally better than Chardonnay and the wines display a classic freshness with a highly attractive, ripe fruit feel. Many growers have suggested that the low yields actually benefited quality, with the small vintage delivering added concentration to the limited amount of wine produced.
