The vineyard of the Côte de Beaune occupies, with its 3,000 ha, twice the surface of the Côte de Nuits. Although the Corton vineyard covers 98 hectares planted exclusively with Pinot Noir and is, by its size, the most important of the entire Côte de Beaune, it is in Montrachet, further south, that one finds the most prestigious wines.
