A historically significant appellation that spans the entire mosaic of Burgundy, from the hills of Chablis to the slopes of Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune and Mâconnais. It is not merely an “entry level” Burgundy, but a broad, centuries-old origin category that allows a true understanding of the region’s identity: precise acidity, clear structure and the pure expression of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
The greatness of Bourgogne AOC lies in its terroir diversity. The region is shaped by limestone massifs, layers of clay, ancient marine seabeds, loamy terraces carved by rivers, and Kimmeridgian marl in the south. This geological mosaic creates natural microclimates — some parcels yield delicate, floral Pinot Noir, while others offer graceful, mineral-driven Chardonnay. In Burgundy, altitude, slope aspect, and even a difference of 10–15 meters on the hillside can change the style completely — which is why Bourgogne AOC can be subtle, lively, and profoundly refined at the same time.
The climate is continental, with cold winters and a risk of spring frost, followed by a long, warm growing season. The temperature difference between day and night preserves natural acidity and aromatic precision. This is one of the key elements behind Burgundy’s elegance: wines are not born from sunshine abundance, but from slow, cool ripening.

Bourgogne AOC wines are made exclusively from the region’s two icons: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The reds show notes of red cherry, raspberry, violet, gentle spices and a soft earthy touch; the texture is silky, with fine, delicate tannins. The whites are bright and citrus-driven, with aromas of white flowers, green apple, sometimes honey and chalk; the finish is mineral, dry, with a subtle salty-limestone impression. With time, the best examples gain hazelnut, butter, acacia and honey nuances.
The history of Bourgogne AOC reaches back to the monks and Cistercians, who were the first to understand the deep meaning of terroir. For this reason, the appellation is not a “generic blend”, but a collection of styles in which one can discover the region’s face: purity of soil, simplicity of winemaking and respect for a single grape, a single plot, a single idea.
Today, Bourgogne AOC represents the heart of Burgundy — a wine in which the region’s culture, history and philosophy become tangible. It is the appellation that allows you to experience true Burgundy before stepping into the hierarchy of villages, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards.
