Discovering the wine region of Yonne
Yonne is a PGI title covering the administrative department of the same name in the northwest corner of the Burgundy wine region. It covers wines produced in this region that either do not fall within the official boundaries of the Yonne PDOs, or do not follow the stricter laws of those appellations with respect to winemaking. The most famous of these are the various levels of Chablis (minus the associated Petit Chablis appellation). The others are the Saint-Bris appellation (for Sauvignon Blanc) and Irancy, for red wine only.
The IGP has a limited list of authorised grape varieties which reflects its location in northern Burgundy. The red wines are made from Pinot Noir and Gamay, as well as the lesser known Trousseau and César. The rosé is made from Pinot Noir alone. The white wines are mainly made from the Burgundian grape varieties Chardonnay, Aligoté and Pinot Blanc, but also from Sauvignon Blanc.
