After doing the southern area of Beaune yesterday it was time for a punitive raid on the area north called the Cote de Nuit. It contains great names like Nuit St George, Vosne Romanee, Gevry Chambertin etc - some of the most expensive grand cru wines can be found here.
We drove to the top to get a feel and worked our way down. We also packed a picnic lunch to avoid wasting too much time over lunch ......this was a serious mission!
Highlights were a visit to an incredible cave in Gevry and a great tasting in Nuit St George where we got to taste 2005 and 2007 grand crus.
After such a demanding day we needed a break in Beaune before a tasting in town and dinner. And what a taste it was......a few glasses of excellent aged wines at a local establishment before dinner talking to a young Aussie couple from the Barossa.
