Map of the Côtes de Nuits & Cotês de Beaune
As you can see, the vineyards of the Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune begin to the south of Dijon, moving south-westwards following the valley made by the river Saône. They will then join the Chalonaise, Maconaise, Beaujoulais and final the Cote du Rhone vines. Although there is no real production of wine along side the canal, some people have began to introduce Bio wines in fields which produced wines many years. Fora example near the small village of Malain a few miles from Dijon there is a Cremante production.
