ORIGIN

The area which constitutes the Bourgogne appellation spreads across 384 villages of the Yonne, Côte d’Or, Saône & Loire, and Rhône departments. Starting in the North, from the region of Chablis and Auxerre, to the South in the region of Macon, and passing through the Côte d’Or and the Côte Chalonnaise, the Bourgogne wines stem from very diverse terroirs.

In the North, the wines are lively and fragrant, while in the South, they are more structured.

Our Bourgogne rouge wines are a blend of grapes from the Côte Chalonnaise and the Côte de Beaune which bring fruit and roundness, with a little Auxerrois grapes for freshness.

Varied terroirs with limestone hillsides, sometimes chalky or Kimmeridgian in the North, with the marl and limestone of the Côte d’Or and the clay with hints of granite from the Saône and Loire.
