There is an extensive network of country roads throughout the commune which is entirely farmland, with the edge of the Bois de Corton in the north forming the northern border.[5]

The only stream in the commune is the Fosse des Branots in the south flowing to the east.

Etymology


Aloxe-Corton comes from the Celtic "al" meaning "high place"[dubious ].

In French, Aloxe-Corton is pronounced "Aloxs-Corton".

History


Legend has it that the Emperor Charlemagne granted the lands in 775, initially planting some 70 vines. The vines were located in the area of "Curtis Otto" (i.e. Corton). The beneficiaries were the Canons of the Collegiate Church of St. Andoche Saulieu.
