Wines made from César grapes of Burgundy
Discover the best wines made with César as a single variety or as a blend of Burgundy.
Structured, tannic reds with a deep, intense ruby colour, firm tannins and a dense palate, showing signature aromas of black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant), black cherry, spices, pepper and earthy notes. Fine ageing potential with a rustic, authentic character. A traditional component of Irancy AOC in the Yonne, adding colour and structure in blends with Pinot Noir. Indigenous Burgundian variety of the northern Yonne terroirs, with presumed Gaulish origins.
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
