Sufficient connection time at Dijon Ville train station?

I need to get from Paris CDG Airport to Beaune. I'm considering taking the 11:21 a.m. train from CDG, arriving in Dijon at 1:18 p.m. The train to Beaune departs Dijon at 1:29 p.m. My concern is whether or not 11 minutes is enough time to make the connection between the two trains.

Not being at all familiar with the Dijon station (or rail travel, for that matter), I need some advice. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Dijon station is not all that grand and 11 mins if fine IF the TGV train is on time and they are not always but i think there is frequent service Dijon to Beaune so you woould probably just have to wait an hour or so if the TGV is late - they are not usually but can be. But don't worry there are plenty of trains Dijon to Beaune.

Pal is right.

There is a lot of service to Beaune from Dijon. Depending on the time of day, almost every 30 minutes.

That's plenty of time, I think. Connecting trains are often right near each other in the stations, they plan it that way, although given there are so many to Beaune, it may not be anything special they plan for.
