Insights:
MLC: 4 regions, 150 appellations and 365 growers. The five sub-areas in the Côte Chalonnaise are, from north to south, Bouzeron, Rully, Mercurey, Givry, Montagny. There are no Grand Crus. Between the regions there is a variation in producing reds and/or whites. Rully makes more whites, Mercurey more red, Montagny’s AOC is based on white and Bouzeron’s AOC is solely based on the white Aligoté grape. The Challonnaise region produces also good red and white wines under the AOC Bourgogne-Côte Challonnaise. Blending within Givry’s crus is regulated.
