In Burgundy, the growing of the vine is higher in the Côte de Beaunes than in the Côte de Nuits (400 m and sometimes more). The reef is cut in "combes", among which the Pernand-Vergeless one seems to separate the famous Corton mount of the rest of the coast.

For 30 years the "hautes-côtes", where the "Bourgognes" HCN & HCB appellations are located, are getting planted again little by little. The "aligoté" finds there its favourite land which stresses its freshness. Some vineyards give excellent red wines issued from Pinot noir, often offering scents of small red fruit (raspberry and black currant).

The prestigious brotherhood of Tastevin which makes a lot in promoting the universal prestige of the Burgundy wines, helps with other local brotherhoods to keep alive the traditions.

One of the most brilliant is certainly the sale of the Hospices de Beaune created in 1851, international elite meeting of wine and "stock exchange" for the main great growths.
