THE REGIONALS

Burgundy wines are classified in four large categories. On a scale of increasing rarity we have : Regional Appellations, Communal Appellations, Premier Crus and finally, Grand Crus.

The Regional Appellations,account for over half the total production of Burgundy and come from an ensemble of “Bourgogne” vineyards or from one of the sub-regions.

Millebuis offers 4 wines in this category. 2 reds: Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise Pinot Noir (a house speciality), and Côteaux Bourguignons Pinot Noir-Gamay. The 2 white wines are Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise Chardonnay and Bourgogne Aligoté “Sable” (an oddity).
