Appellation in the Côte de Beaune area, the southern half of the Côte d'Or area in Burgundy. It covers only five hectares of vineyards in 16 communes in the two departments of Côte d'Or (12) and Saône-et-Loire (4). The municipalities of Beaune, Aloxe-Corton, Pommard and Volnay are excluded. Only red wines made from Pinot Noir with percentages of Pinot Liébault (Pinot Noir clone) and Pinot Gris are permitted.
There is also an appellation called Côte de Beaune. However, this should not be confused with the (much larger) Côte de Beaune area.

If I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a large amount of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. Keep it up!
