The Château de Cîteaux is a family-run estate spanning over 37-acre with wine ranging, mostly whites, from Santenay to Corton led by Philippe Bouzereau. Using traditional winemaking processes, Bouzereau produces textbook Mersault wines, outstanding Chassagne, firm and focused Auxey-Duresses and dense and long Corton-Bressandes.

Burgundy is a region in east-central France known for its wine, including namesake Pinot Noirs, Chablis and Beaujolais. The area is crisscrossed by a network of navigable canals and studded with grand châteaux, some of which, are now luxury hotels. The capital, Dijon, of mustard fame, is home to the imposing Palace of the Dukes, where the distinguished Musée des Beaux-Arts was established in 1787.
