S2E6: Entering the Côte de Nuits

In this episode we venture into the world’s most hallowed ground for Pinot Noir, and the northern half of Burgundy’s Côte d’Or – the Côte de Nuits. While exploring the people and the wines of the Cote de Nuits Villages and the village of Nuits-Saint-Georges we explore the geologic differences that set apart the Côte de Nuits from the Côte de Beaune, search for a physical boundary between the two locations, identify the characteristics of the most famous vineyards, and see if we can taste these differences in the wines themselves.

Featuring our guests Camille Thiriet, Charles Lachaux, Antoine Gouges, and Erwan Faiveley. With commentary by Paul Wasserman, Daniel Johnnes, and Françoise Vannier.

This episode was created by Brenna Quigley, Nick Canepa, and Jeff Alvarez. With support from Esa Eslami, Ali Massie, and our Grand Cru Patron Steven Lipin.
