The wine region of Coteaux Bourguignons

Coteaux Bourguignons is a wine appellation whose wines are produced in the Vineyards of Burgundy, in the east of France and more precisely in the wine regions of Chablis, Côte de nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise and Mâcon. The Coteaux Bourguignons can also exist under the following designations: "Coteaux Bourguignons", "Bourgogne grand ordinaire" or "Bourgogne ordinaire". Its vineyard benefits from a temperate-oceanic and semi-continental Climate and a Terroir made of clay-limestone soil. The Coteaux Bourguignons has the French AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) label as well as the European AOP (Appellation d'Origine Protégée) label.

The wine region of Burgundy

Bourgogne is the catch-all regional appellation title of the Burgundy wine region in eastern France ("Bourgogne" is the French name for Burgundy). Burgundy has a Complex and comprehensive appellation system; counting Premier Cru and Grand Cru titles, the region has over 700 appellation titles for its wines. Thus, Burgundy wines often come from one Vineyard (or several separate vineyards) without an appellation title specific to the region, Village or even vineyard. A standard Burgundy wine may be made from grapes grown in one or more of Burgundy's 300 communes.

The word of the wine: Phylloxera

Aphid that came from America and ravaged European vineyards at the end of the 19th century. It lives on the roots of the vine, from which it pumps the sap. The only vines capable of resisting it had to be imported from the United States, and then grafted onto their root system the wood of traditional French grape varieties. Today, grafted vines are always planted.
