Coteaux Bourguignons AOC

What is This Appellation and Which Grapes are Used?

Coteaux Bourguignons (meaning "Hills of Burgundy") replaced the former Bourgogne Grand Ordinaire appellation. Its biggest advantage is flexibility. Winemakers are permitted to source grapes from the entire greater Burgundy region, including Beaujolais. You will find wines made from single varietals as well as innovative blends.

• Red and Rosé Wines: Crafted from Pinot Noir, Gamay (or blends of both), and César. These wines are known for their juicy red berry aromas, low tannins, and extreme freshness.
• White Wines: Made from Chardonnay, Aligoté, Melon de Bourgogne, and other permitted varieties. They are generally crisp, floral, and light-bodied.
