Cote
In France, Cote is the name given to a slope covered by vineyards. Used along with a place name to denote a large region, with many, similar slopes. For example, in Burgundy, the Cote d'Or includes Cote de Nuits in the north and Cote de Beaune, in the south. The Cote de Beaune extends from Cote de Nuits in the north a full fifteen miles to the southern end of Burgundy. Both Cote de Nuits and Cote de Beaune include many other, smaller "Cotes" as well.
