Puligny-Montrachet

[img_assist|nid=11415|title=|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=120|height=214]The "Scabby Hill" ("Mont Rachaz"), not much more than an undulation between Puligny and Chassagne, is one of the most famous vineyard sites in the world. Wines from the Chassagne side are called "Le Montrachet" and from the Puligny side simply "Montrachet" Рthere are 4 hectares of each. Above Montrachet proper is the 7.59ha of Chevalier Montrachet (all in Puligny), at the bottom of the slope lies B̢tard Montrachet (6.02ha in Puligny). The names of these two Grand Crus supposedly reflect the division of the estate of the Seigneur de Montrachet between his two sons, one of whom had been a knight in the Crusades, the other was illegitimate.

Meursault

^{Perhaps surprisingly, one of the most famous names in Burgundy has no Grand Crus, although there have been calls for Les Perrieres to be so designated ever since it was described as "tête de cuvée" in the 1855 list.}

^{Meursault grows Chardonnay almost exclusively (note the exception of Santenots mentioned in the Volnay section), which makes wonderfully rich and buttery white Burgundy, developing a certain nuttiness with time. The Premier Crus occupy 132ha of the 437ha.}

A Very Small Town in France

Years ago, I was on a tour of Europe with my college choir. One of the places we stopped was a very small town in France, and I believe that the town's name was Niéce, though I may have the accent wrong. I have been trying to map out that trip so that I can take my wife on a tour of all the places I've talked about from that trip. However, I have been unable to locate this town on any map, and my searches for this town have been fruitless. Our previous stop had been near Chur, in Switzerland, and our next stop after this town was Paris.

If anyone can let me know if a town by this name exists, and if so, where it is located, I would really appreciate it. Thank you very much for any help you can provide.

Which villages should I visit?

I am planning a visit to France, but I feel very lost. I want to visit some places not overtaken by tourism. I do want to visit Paris for the musems and also the Chateau Chantilly (my ancestors used to own the estate). I will be traveling through France to also visit Italy. What are some small towns that would be good to visit and are on the way from Paris traveling to Italy? I really want to see the history. I would like to visit an older village–I love old buildings—with restaurants that are maybe family owned where I can try some authentic food. Also, there should be a hotel nearby and easy transportation. Any recommendations?
