BOURGOGNE COTE D’ORREGIONAL APPELLATION OF BURGUNDYIn 2017, the producers of the Regional appellation "Bourgogne", located in Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, obtained the additional mention "BOURGOGNE CÔTE D'OR", which thus becomes a Bourgogne with additional Geographical Denomination. This name is reserved for red and white still wines produced within the 40 villages in Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits.We welcomed this development as it strengthens our philosophy of what “Regional’ Burgundy wine should be. This strengthens our philosophy that simple Bourgogne has the potential to better express specific terroir and vintage. With other producers, regional wines can be produced by blending wines sourced from across the region, the quality and specificity of this appellation can be questionable. On the other hand, with Elden producers, many Bourgogne wines are produced within a single commune and some even from a single vineyard. So, the addition of this new AOC is good as it adds more specificity to the terroir. As with all Burgundy wine, you need to know its pedigree and who made it.The appellation Bourgogne Côte d’Or is restricted to wines grown within the defined limits of the appellation:Côte d’Or 91 communes
