In 2017, only around 130 hectares are planted to sauvignon. • Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon, and a few other minor varietals make up the remaining 1%. The soils here are full of limestone with a little granite as well. Anyone who works a ‘table de trie’ will tell you that, particularly in some vineyards of Beaune, there is a reasonable amount of pinot beurot interspersed with the pinot noir – perhaps 1-3% – whether it’s allowed or not! The grapes are much larger than those of chardonnay, usually they produce a little more alcohol too – exceptionally 13° but normally 11-11.5° but half a degree more than the chardonnay with equivalent hang-time. (2012 bivb), The chardonnay vine is long known to be a crossing of. Pestilence and disease seldom allow such things to continue – and Burgundy has had its share of those – yet somehow we remain with these three varieties. In 1974 ‘Sauvignon de Saint-Bris’ acquired VDQS (Vin Delimité de Qualité Superieure). Time transformed the seabed into limestone soils. This might be because of the type of soil, the way the vineyard faces the morning sun, longer aging in oak, or a myriad of other reasons. You can read such a study here. When a cuvée of gamay is produced in the Chalonnaise or the Côte d’Or, the wine is called Bourgogne Grand Ordinaire (actually anywhere in ‘greater’ Burgundy), or when mixed with pinot noir, Bourgogne Passe-Tout-Grains – Côteaux Bourguignons is the new umbrella label for wines with some gamay content. Burgundy is all about terroir – it’s not just the taste of rocks! The personal relationship to the land has inspired growth in organic and bio-dynamic viticulture and winemaking. This provides for a relatively stable baseline where genetic modification is kept to a minimum. The wines from this area are good value. Fruit quality standards were set and many younger growers, inheriting the family vineyards, decided to make their own wines. These renowned expressions of Pinot Noir can age for decades – and it might just take that long to save up for them, as prices can easily creep up into thousands of dollars! Another village that does something a bit different (do we see a pattern emerging? ) Before the grapes ripen you won’t see any difference between the vines, but the blanc will ripen to a golden colour, whereas the gris has light red and grey tones – like an apricot. In reality, it’s closer to Champagne, both in terms of location and climate, with harsh cold winters, spring frost, and hot summers. Pinot Noir is resistant to winter frosts but as an early-budding variety, it is therefore sensitive to spring frosts. Its versatility is it’s key; steely unoaked wines, sometimes without malolactic fermentation typify the cooler climate wines. Ex-BIVB, 2018 – it doesn’t include Beaujolais, but it’s a pretty image! A popular varietal for red wines from the Mâconnais, it is also used as part of the blend for Coteaux Bourguignons, Bourgogne Passe-Tout-Grains and some Crémant de Bourgogne.
