Coteaux Bourguignons

The Coteaux Bourguignons appellation is a new appellation recognized in 2011 and reserved for red and white wines produced within the area bounded by the Yonne department (54 municipalities), the Côte-d’Or department (91 municipalities), the Saône-et-Loire department (154 municipalities), and the Rhône department (85 municipalities). Rosé wines produced within this area are entitled to the appellation “Coteaux Bourguignons rosé” or “Coteaux Bourguignons Clairet.”

What sets Coteaux Bourguignons apart is that it can be either a blended wine or a single-varietal wine, and sometimes incorporates heritage grape varieties. The Coteaux Bourguignons appellation boasts an infinite variety of terroirs, ranging from the chalky subsoil around Joigny in the north to the granites of southern Burgundy, including the limestones and marls most commonly associated with the appellation.
