Northern gateway to the Côte Chalonnaise and cradle of Crémant de Bourgogne: signature Chardonnay as king white (~65%) — pale gold with green hints, fresh and chiseled with notes of citrus, white flowers, hazelnut, light honey and a mineral touch, taut finish. Pinot Noir with supple red fruits (cherry, raspberry, redcurrant) in indulgent reds. Emblematic Crémant de Bourgogne. AOC (1939), ~360 ha on Rully and Chagny, 23 Premiers Crus, marl-limestone slopes, semi-continental.

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.
The word of the wine: Grape
