The purest expression of the grape, little oak. Hierarchy: lively Petit Chablis, fresh Chablis, more complex Premier Cru (Montée de Tonnerre, Vaillons), 7 age-worthy Grands Crus (Les Clos, Valmur, Bougros…).
The wine region of Burgundy

Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
