Flying over the coasts of Beaune and the coasts of Nuits allows you to better understand the unique peculiarity of the Burgundy vineyard which has earned it today the opportunity to see its climates classified as a Unesco World Heritage Site.

In the early morning, it is not uncommon for a few layers of mist to give these landscapes a mysterious, almost fantastic character, where the villages have managed to remain picturesque and retain their authenticity despite their international renown. Aloxe-Corton, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet or even Pommard, so many names evocative of oenophiles, cradles of some of the greatest vintages of Burgundy, are on the program of this dream destination in the land of wine and gastronomy.
