The VélOeno71: meeting the noble Pinot Noir

Mysterious and complex, Pinot Noir is the source of some of Burgundy's finest wines. A tireless globetrotter in the wine world, it has extended its kingdom to other emblematic regions such as New Zealand, South Africa and Oregon in the United States. But it was here in Burgundy that it was born... Cycle 23 kilometres of small roads through the vineyards and authentic villages of the Côte Chalonnaise to discover this legendary grape variety. Along the way, you'll enjoy beautiful views over the surrounding countryside, and history buffs won't want to miss a visit to the 14th-century Château de Germolles, the best-preserved residence of the Dukes of Burgundy. You can also take a few well-earned breaks to sample one of these precious beverages.
