Chardonnay as a broad white (citrus, apple, almond, honey, white flowers). AOC (1937), ~330 ha on Santenay and Remigny, 12 Premiers Crus (Les Gravieres, La Comme), limestone marls, ages 4-10 years.

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