The TOP appellation of Burgundy
Frequently Asked Questions

Burgundy is home to some of the most prestigious wines in the world. Among the great red grands crus, Chambertin, Musigny, and Romanée-Conti stand at the pinnacle of the hierarchy, sourced from exceptional plots in the Côte de Nuits. On the white side, Montrachet and Corton-Charlemagne represent the absolute excellence of Chardonnay. These grand cru appellations represent only 1.5% of total Burgundy production, which explains their rare character and worldwide reputation.

Aging potential varies depending on the appellation level and the vintage. A regional Bourgogne is generally best enjoyed within 3 to 5 years of the harvest. A premier cru can be cellared for 8 to 15 years, depending on the producer and the vintage. Grand crus, on the other hand, can age for several decades: some Gevrey-Chambertin or Chambolle-Musigny reach their peak after 20 to 30 years in the cellar. Sunny vintages such as 2015, 2019, and 2020 generally offer better aging potential thanks to their fine concentration of tannins and natural acidity.

The Burgundy hierarchy is one of the most precise in the world. A premier cru designates an identified plot or named site whose name may appear on the label alongside that of the village, such as Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses. The grand cru represents the supreme level: the plot is so renowned that it stands alone as an appellation, without mention of the village. Thus, one simply says Musigny or Bâtard-Montrachet. In Burgundy, there are 33 grand cru appellations and several hundred premiers crus, located primarily on the Côte d'Or and in Chablis.

Burgundy rests on a philosophy of grape variety simplicity: two main varieties dominate the entire vineyard. Pinot Noir reigns supreme for red wines, offering fine, elegant wines of great aromatic complexity. Chardonnay asserts itself for the whites, capable of expressing both the sharp minerality of Chablis and the buttery roundness of the great whites of the Côte de Beaune. This concentration on two noble grape varieties is a worldwide singularity: where other regions blend several varieties, Burgundy puts everything into the pure expression of terroir through a single grape variety.

Burgundy Pinot Noir is one of the most gastronomic grape varieties there is, thanks to its finesse and natural acidity. It pairs wonderfully with beef bourguignon, the quintessential regional pairing, roasted poultry such as Bresse chicken, duck with cherries, and soft-rind cheeses like Époisses and Soumaintrain. For younger, fruitier wines, fine charcuterie and terrines also make excellent companions. Slow-cooked, patiently simmered dishes remain the royal road to showcasing a fine red Burgundy.

A red Burgundy is ideally served between 14°C and 16°C. At this temperature, Pinot Noir reveals the full finesse of its aromas: cherry, raspberry, violet, and truffle depending on the age of the wine. Too warm, it appears heavy and alcoholic; too cold, it closes up and loses aromatic expression. For a white Burgundy, a temperature of 11°C to 13°C is recommended to balance freshness and complexity. It is advisable to remove bottles from the refrigerator about twenty minutes before serving.

It produces red Burgundy and white Burgundy wines whose quality is beyond question. The Burgundy vineyard, covering 30,000 hectares, is spread as follows: 6,000 ha in the Yonne (for Chablis wines), 8,000 in the Mâconnais, 6,000 in the Côte Chalonnaise and 10,000 in the Côte d'Or (including the very famous Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune). The Burgundy vineyard is fragmented into a mosaic of thousands of plots (called here "climats"), often very small (such as La Romanée, which is the smallest appellation in the world at 0.8 hectares), due to the geological origin and the highly diverse soil composition, often within the same locality. These are essentially sedimentary soils composed of clay, marl and limestone, deposited 150 million years ago during the Jurassic period on an even older substrate.

The Burgundy vineyard: its history 

The history of Burgundy wines dates back to Roman times, with the planting of the first vines. In the Middle Ages, the monks of the Abbey of Cîteaux made a significant contribution to the development of Burgundian viticulture through new viticultural and winemaking techniques.

In the 17th century, the trade in Burgundy wines grew considerably, particularly thanks to the development of maritime commerce. The great Burgundy wines, highly appreciated by the nobility, were exported to England, Russia and other European countries.

In the 19th century, Burgundy had to face an economic crisis due in particular to the ravages of phylloxera but also to the growing competition from wines of other regions. Burgundy's winemakers then decided to change their methods (reducing yields, improving winemaking techniques) in order to focus on the production of wines of the very highest quality. From this new strategy came the classification of Burgundy's climates, what is more commonly known today as the Burgundy wine appellation pyramid.

In the 20th century, as the reputation of Burgundy wines continued to grow, the wines of the Burgundy pyramid obtained their corresponding AOC designations (appellations d'origine contrôlée) one year after the creation of this system, in 1936.

Today, the reputation of Burgundy wines is well established: many consider them to be among the finest wines in the world, with a great variety of styles that reflect the diversity of the climates and terroirs of this complex and fascinating region.

The appellation pyramid of Burgundy wines

The Burgundy vineyard presents itself as an immense mosaic composed of thousands of plots (called here climates), often of small size (La Romanée Conti is the smallest appellation in the world at 0.8 hectares), owing to a very diverse geological origin and soil composition, often within the same lieu-dit. These are essentially sedimentary soils made up of clay, marl, and limestone, deposited 150 million years ago during the Jurassic period on an even older substrate.

In order to simplify the understanding of these terroirs for the widest possible audience, the visionary Burgundy region created in the 19th century a system of hierarchical appellations known as the Burgundy wine pyramid. This Burgundy appellation pyramid is composed of four tiers, each representing an increasing degree of quality, complexity, and specificity.

Here are the four levels of the Burgundy appellation pyramid, from the most general and accessible to the most specific and grandiose: 

- Regional appellations: This first tier brings together wines with a regional appellation that can be produced throughout the region and are often considered the most accessible and simplest Burgundy wines. For example: "AOC Bourgogne" and "AOC Bourgogne Aligoté".

- Village appellations: This second level includes village appellation wines such as AOC Chablis, AOC Pommard, AOC Meursault, AOC Vosne-Romanée, AOC Chambolle-Musigny or the famous AOC Gevrey-Chambertin. These wines are produced within the appellation zone of their respective villages and thus offer more distinctive characteristics than regional wines.

- The Premier Cru appellations of Burgundy: This third tier brings together wines with Premier Cru Burgundy appellations such as AOC Chablis Premier Cru, AOC Beaune Premier Cru, or AOC Volnay Premier Cru. These are wines produced on specific climates within the Villages AOC vineyards, thus offering a so-called superior quality.

- The Grand Cru appellations of Burgundy: Finally, this last level of appellation is the most prestigious, bringing together the Grand Cru Burgundy wine appellations such as AOC Chablis Grand Cru, AOC Corton Charlemagne, AOC Chambertin, AOC Montrachet, AOC Clos Vougeot, AOC Richebourg, AOC Clos de la Roche, AOC Clos Saint Denis, AOC Romanée Saint Vivant. These great Burgundy wines come from the most prestigious climates of the Burgundy vineyard and are thus considered some of the greatest Burgundy wines, thanks to their exceptional quality and complexity.

The Burgundy appellation pyramid is a complex and hierarchical system that allows wine lovers to understand the quality, specificity, and origin of Burgundy wines. However, it is important to note that some winemakers also produce wines without a specific appellation, which can offer great quality and an excellent value for money.

The grape varieties of Burgundy wines 

The grape varieties of Burgundy wines are Pinot Noir for red Burgundy wines, which produces light and elegant or powerful and full-bodied wines depending on the plot's location, and Chardonnay for white Burgundy wines, producing great dry, aromatic, and full-bodied wines. Other grape varieties complement Burgundy's encépagement to a lesser extent: Aligoté, fresh and lively, with citrus notes; Gamay, a red grape variety, well suited primarily to the granitic soils of the Beaujolais and southern Burgundy, notably used in the AOC Côteaux Bourguignons appellation.

The sub-regions of Burgundy wines, from North to South

The Burgundy vineyard covers 30,000 ha, distributed as follows: 6,000 ha in the Yonne (for the wines of Chablis), 8,000 for the wines of the Mâconnais, 6,000 for the wines of the Côte Chalonnaise, and 10,000 in the Côte d'Or (comprising the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune).

Burgundy wines from Chablis

Chablis is the most northerly wine sub-region of Burgundy, recognized for its great dry and mineral white wines made from Chardonnay. The wines of Chablis are fresh and mineral white wines. This is due to the Kimmeridgian calcareous soils, as well as the cooler climate, which give their distinctive character to Chablis wines. There are Chablis Grand Cru wines and Chablis premiers crus wines. In Chablis, there are renowned great producers such as: Francois Raveneau, Vincent Dauvissat, and William Fevre. 

Burgundy wines from the Côte de Nuits 

The Côte de Nuits is the northern part of the Côte d'Or, which also encompasses the Côte de Beaune. The Côte de Nuits is primarily known for its Pinot Noir red wines. The wines of the Côte de Nuits are generally described as elegant, refined, complex, and aromatic wines. The distinctive character of these wines is due to the calcareous and clay-limestone soils of the region, as well as the climate. The most well-known appellations of the Côte de Nuits from north to south are: Marsannay, Fixin, Gevrey Chambertin, Morey Saint Denis, Chambolle Musigny, Vougeot, Vosne Romanée and Nuits Saint Georges. Find the greatest producers of the Côte de Nuits a little further down in the section The Best Burgundy Wines.

Burgundy wines from the Côte de Beaune 

The Côte de Beaune is the southern part of the Côte d'Or, which also encompasses the Côte de Nuits. The Côte de Beaune is particularly renowned for its Chardonnay white wines (as opposed to the Côte de Nuits), owing to the calcareous soils of the region, but also for its red wines on the more clay-limestone parts of the vineyard. The white Burgundy wines of the Côte de Beaune are often rich, complex, and aromatic. The red Burgundy wines of the Côte de Beaune are rather refined, elegant, and delicate.

Among the most well-known villages, you will find the following wines from North to South: Pernand Vergelesses, Ladoix, Aloxe Corton, Savigny les Beaune, Beaune, Pommard, Volnay, Monthélie, Auxey Duresses, Meursault, Puligny Montrachet, Saint Aubin, Chassagne Montrachet and Santenay. Find the greatest producers of the Côte de Beaune a little further down in the section The Best Burgundy Wines.

Burgundy wines from the Côte Chalonnaise

The Côte Chalonnaise is a sub-region of Burgundy situated to the south of the Côte de Beaune and to the north of the Mâconnais. The soils of the Côte Chalonnaise are composed of limestone, marl, and clay, giving their distinctive character to the wines of the region. The Côte Chalonnaise is recognized for its elegant, refined, and fruity red wines, and its white wines full of freshness, vivacity, and elegance.

The Côte Chalonnaise generally produces white wines with notes of citrus, apple and pear, while the red wines often display notes of morello cherry, raspberry and spices.

Food and wine pairings 

Burgundy wines can be paired with dishes of a great variety of foods, from the most accessible to the most complex. Here are some food and wine pairing ideas with Burgundy wines, organized by type of dish:

For an aperitif, begin with a rather mineral and precise wine to awaken your guests' palates: a Chablis, a Bourgogne Aligoté, or a Crémant de Bourgogne will perfectly accompany canapés, spreads, oysters, and seafood.

For a starter, move up a notch with a more complex Burgundy white wine, such as a Chablis Grand Cru, or a wine from the Côte de Beaune such as a Meursault or a Puligny Montrachet, which pair well with fish-based starters, seafood and vegetables, quiches and terrines, as well as grilled fish.

With your fish dish in cream sauce, or even with white meat or poultry in sauce, pair your dish with a white wine such as a fine wine from Meursault like the Grand Cru Montrachet or a Corton Charlemagne. With your red meat dish, Burgundy red wines — in particular Gevrey-Chambertin, Nuits-Saint-Georges, and Pommard — pair well with red meats, game, and poultry in sauce.

For cheeses, as a general rule, opt for white Burgundy wines, such as Meursault and Corton-Charlemagne, which pair well with hard cheeses. However, you may also match red Burgundy wines with soft-rind cheeses, particularly Époisses, Cîteaux and Langres.

For dessert, return to a Crémant de Bourgogne paired with a cream and fruit tart, or bring out a fine red wine such as a Pommard with a chocolate fondant.
