Why should we let the Montrachets, Meursault, Volnay and Pommard get all the glory? There are three delightful villages set in the valleys behind the main Côte which are delivering steadily more exciting wines as these cooler, formerly sometimes marginal, locations have been warming up. These days there is more flesh on the bones of the whites and reds of St-Romain and Auxey-Duresses, while the reds of Monthélie are also excellent value propositions, by Burgundy standards.
