Coteaux Bourguignons is a relatively new appellation in Burgundy, and wines can be made under this appellation from the southernmost part at the bottom of Beaujolais to the northernmost part up near Chablis.

This wine is made from 65% Gamay and 35% Pinot Noir grapes grown on calcareous clay soils. Julien left 80% of the grapes as whole clusters, and the skins were left with the juice for 15 days to extract some colour.

After the maceration, 75% was transferred to a 15 hectolitre wooden foudre, and the rest was stored in 5-10-year-old oak barrels. The wine was matured for eight months in these vessels before being bottled.

The result is an extraordinary wine where the two grape varieties sing together to present a harmonious wine that provides excellent drinking pleasure. We are delighted with this wine, and we are sure you will be too. And it is only 11.5% alcohol!
