The Côte Chalonnaise lies just south of the Côte d'Or, a rolling stretch of limestone hills that produces some of Burgundy's best-value Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Without Grand Cru vineyards of its own, it has long lived in the shadow of its illustrious neighbour — to the benefit of value-minded drinkers.
Its five village appellations each have a specialty: Mercurey and Givry for structured, characterful reds; Rully for fresh whites and sparkling Crémant; Montagny for crisp Chardonnay; and Bouzeron, uniquely, for the Aligoté grape.
Grown on the same Jurassic limestone that runs the length of Burgundy, the wines offer genuine Côte d'Or character — finesse, minerality, and food-friendly freshness — at notably approachable prices.
