The wine region of Beaune
Historical capital of Burgundy wines and largest communal appellation of the Côte de Beaune: signature Pinot Noir as king red (~85%) — ruby robe with notes of cherry, raspberry, redcurrant, violet, peony and a spicy touch, fine tannins and harmonious structure, perfumed finish. Fresh mineral Chardonnay as complement (citrus, white flowers, almond). 42 Premier Cru climats (Grèves, Clos des Mouches, Bressandes). AOC (1936), ~410 ha, marl-limestone on the western hill.
The wine region of Burgundy
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.
The word of the wine: Mercaptan
Organic compound resulting from the combination of alcohol and sulphide (H2S) producing an unpleasant odour reminiscent of town gas and rotten eggs.
