Auxey-Duresses
Auxey lies between the Montagne de Bourdon and the Mont Mellian in the centre of the Côte-de-Beaune. The village itself has a 15th Century church and remnants of more than one Chateau. Its premier crus are found on the south-east facing slopes under the Montagne de Bourdon which suits the Pinot Noir particularly well.

The north-west orientation of the slopes on the Meursault side are better suited to Chardonnay but only village wines are produced here. Both grapes are found on the third section of the Auxey-Duresses vignoble, a south-east facing slope on the way to Saint Romain, these again are village wines. Auxey-Duresses has a good reputation for white wines and they tend to be relatively inexpensive.
