Domaine Comte Senard, Corton, Les Paulands Grand Cru, Côte de Beaune, 2011, 75cl

The Côte de Beaune is a prestigious wine region that stretches southwest from the town of Beaune in Burgundy and continues along the Côte d'Or. The Côte de Beaune is particularly known for its excellent white wines, made primarily from the Chardonnay grape. Some of the most famous white wines come from areas such as Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet and Meursault, but although white wines predominate, red wines are also produced in the Côte de Beaune. Pinot Noir is the main grape, and some of the most recognized red wines come from areas such as Volnay, Pommard and Beaune. The Côte de Beaune is known for producing wines of high quality and prestige, and many of the area's wines are considered some of the best representatives of the Bourgogne style.
