Along the "Route des Grands Crus de Bourgogne"
The Côte de Nuits, an exceptional vineyard between Dijon and Beaune
At the heart of the "Route des Grands Crus de Bourgogne" (Route of the Great Burgundy Wines), you'll find Nuits-Saint-Georges and the surrounding vineyard: the Côte de Nuit and Hautes-Côtes de Nuit. Here, you can go from small estates to big ones, from nature reserves to cultural venues, with surprise after surprise. And thanks to the landscapes, encounters and activities available, you can find out all there is to know about this vineyard, featuring the "climats" that are listed as World Heritage by UNESCO. Fans of fine dining will be pleased to know that the Greenway bears the "Vélo & Fromages" (Bike & Cheese) label.

Each globally-renowned village is fairly close to the last... and the flavours of the wines you'll be tasting will stay with you for a long time, leaving lasting memories.
