If the much-touted image of "rural Burgundy" has conjured up an image of slightly backward and ramshackle rustic charm in your mind, you'll have to do some adjusting when you encounter the slick prosperity of Dijon and the wine-producing country to the south, known as the Cote d'Or . It may look peacefully pastoral, but there is nothing medieval about the methods or the profits made in today's wine business. For any trace of the older traditions you have to head into the southwestern corner of the region, into the wine-producing regions of the Maconnais and Beaujolais , and the cattle country of the Charollais .
