The famous vineyard of Romanee Conti covers 1.63 hectares (4 acres). Production is +-3500 bottles per year. The wine sells for +- €20,000 per bottle. A monopole vineyard (ie one owner)
The Grand Cru vineyard of Chevalier Montrachet covers 7.47 hectares (18.5 acres) and produces approximately 40,000 bottles. Just above the village of Puligny Montrachet in the Cote de Beaune.
One of my favourite areas of Burgundy is the area around Gevrey Chambertin in the Cote de Nuits.
Fascinating map of the very precise vineyards of Gevrey Chambertin. Village, Premier and Grand Cru sites.
Domaine Jacques Prieur has some of the finest Grand Cru vineyards.
New investment from the American Evenstadt family of Oregon has energised this beautiful Domaine in Santenay, Chateau de la Cree.

Hanging out with Alicia at Romanee Conti.
Another new investor in the area is Michael Baum who bought Chateau de Pommard in 2014. Michael was succesful in Big Data in San Francisco. He is already bringing analysis and technology to the estate, whilst respecting the fantastic potential in the terroir. An interesting long term investment to follow.
The famous Hotel Dieu in Beaune also known as the Hospices de Beaune, built in 1443 by the generous Nicolas Rolin. A hospital for the poor and the sick.
Not all estates are available to visit in Burgundy. But we have some great access to some beautiful places.
Montrachet is an iconic Grand Cru vineyard in the Cote de Beaune. 7.99 hectares (19.7 hectares) with 18 owners and 26 producers making +- 45,000 bottles per year.
