The vineyards of the Côte-d’Or, which comprise the two main groups of Beaune and Nuits, are responsible for producing some of the most celebrated Burgundy wines.

Notable wines produced in these areas include:

Clos-Vougeot1
Gevrey-Chambertin1
Nuits-Saint-Georges1
Pommard1

Additionally, the town of Beaune is associated with the regional wine trade, which includes the production of wines from nearby communes such as Volnay and Meursault. While the Côte de Nuits is known for producing red wines almost exclusively, the Côte de Beaune produces both red and white wines, including many of the region's finest white Burgundies.23
