the Combe-d'Orveau. This sits in the heart of Burgundy.
That is the 30-mile line of hills running south from Marsannay on
the southern outskirts of Dijon, inclining westwards as it goes
and presenting a broadening band of southeast-facing slopes until
it stops at Santenay. The eight villages of the northern sector,
ending at Premeaux, are the Cote de Nuits.

Grand Crus, 150 acres of Premier Cru, 250 acres of Village wine
appellation. The wines from this commune are red and are made from
