About the wines of the Côte Chalonnaise
The Côte d’Or ends at Santenay, leading on to the Côte Chalonnaise. The villages here may not have such head-turning names, but their wines can offer excellent value for money. With limestone-rich soils and hillside slopes, Rully, Mercurey, Givry and Montagny produce Chardonnay and/or Pinot Noir, while Bouzeron (home to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti’s Aubert de Villaine) specialises in Burgundy’s other white grape, Aligoté.
