Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise APPE LLATI O N D ’ O R I G I N E C O N T R Ô LÉ E Appellation Régionale of the Côte Chalonnaise region (Saône-et-Loire). The words CÔTE CHALONNAISE may only be added to the word BOURGOGNE in the case of red, rosé or white wines produced within the boundaries of the 44 communes which comprise the cantons of Buxy, Chagny, Givry, and Mont-Saint-Vincent. On the label, the words CÔTE CHALONNAISE must follow the word BOURGOGNE. TASTI N G N OT E S Red (Pinot Noir): this wine has a clean, straightforward colour (purple or bright ruby) sometimes tending towards dark garnet-red. Small red (strawberry, gooseberry) and black (blackcurrant, blueberry) fruit aromas come well to the fore, with occasional hints of cherry and kernel, and sometimes animal and mushroom notes. It is mouth-filling, firm in texture, and can be a touch austere in early youth. It has no lack of oomph, however, and its roundness overcomes any jagged edges - its acidity and tannins work well together.
