Les Valozières is a premier cru *climat* in Aloxe-Corton, the northernmost village of the Côte de Beaune. Aloxe-Corton is unusual in Burgundy's geography: it shares the rounded hill of Corton — host to grand cru parcels — with Pernand-Vergelesses and Ladoix-Serrigny, yet Les Valozières sits at premier cru level on the lower slopes, totalling approximately 3.35 ha across seven producers.
Pinot Noir, red only. Registered holdings total approximately 3.35 ha. Farming follows Burgundy's premier cru standard: 9,000 vines per hectare minimum, yields typically capped at 45–48 hl/ha.
- Chevalier Pere & Fils (1.30 ha) - Domaine Comte Senard (0.70 ha) - Domaine Antonin Guyon (0.68 ha) - Domaine Michel Mallard (0.39 ha) - Domaine Chandon de Briailles (0.28 ha)
