Côte de Nuits

Turn off the N74 into Chagny and take the D981 (direction Cluny) after a splendid lunch in Chagny at the finest regional Restaurant La Lameloise (Michelin 3 star)! Take a right turn to the little village of Bouzeron being the most northerly appellation of the Côte Chalonnaise. It is the only Burgundy village appellation which is synonymous with Bourgogne Aligoté. Domaine Chanzy is one of the principal viticulteurs of this locality.

Nearby Rully is an attractive and larger village altogether with several features including the Château. As with the nearby communes of Mercurey and Givry, good quality village and premiers crus wines are made in this region. Rully has always been a centre for production of Crémant de Bourgogne. The reds, particularly in Mercurey, can be very expressive with good backbone, depth of summer fruit flavours, and an underlying earthiness or “goût de terroir”.  The different soils around the various Mercurey 1er Cru wines produce a fascinating contrast of styles as a result (see Domaine du Bourgneuf).

The fifth growing area of the Côte Chalonnaise is some way further south at Buxy around the village of Jully-lès-Buxy. Whilst very agreeable reds and whites are made here, the predominant production is Crémant de Bourgogne centred very much on the competently-run Cave Co-opérative de Buxy.

Just south/south-west of Buxy is the charmingly-attractive and hilly village of Montagny. This is a white production area only with AC Montagny and Montagny 1er Cru. These wines can be generous, stylish, and elegant. Our Château de Cary Potet makes brilliant Montagny wines and some very attractive and inexpensive Bourgognes Rouges Côtes Chalonnaise!
