Understanding Burgundy wines can be complex, with its regions, appellations, climats, and grape varieties. Here are some key points to help you navigate them :
Burgundy is a vast region divided into several “sub-regions” :
Côte de Beaune and Hautes-Côtes-de-Beaune
Côte de Nuits
Chablisien and Grand Auxerrois
Châtillonnais and Hautes-Côtes-de-Nuits
Côte Chalonnaise and Couchois
Mâconnais
Wines are classified by climats and appellations. This system doesn’t rank the wines themselves but rather their climats. Winemakers must adhere to strict guidelines—if they fail to comply, they lose the right to include the classification on their labels.
Burgundy wines are categorized into four levels :
Regional
Village
Premier Cru
Grand Cru
The classification system for Burgundy wines began in the 18th century and has been regulated by the INAO (National Institute of Origin and Quality) since 1935. This classification reflects a consensus among wine industry professionals, local traditions over centuries, and standards that dictate grape variety, yield, and production processes for each climat. This guarantees the quality and viticultural expertise that Burgundy is famous for.
Both Maison Joliet and Domaine Joliet exclusively offer Burgundy wines.
