Côte Chalonnaise: The Hidden Gem of Burgundy

The Côte Chalonnaise, located south of the prestigious Côte de Beaune, is a region often overlooked in Burgundy. Despite its lesser-known name, this area is gaining popularity due to the excellent price-quality ratio of its wines. While the renowned vineyards of the Côte d'Or often command high prices, the Côte Chalonnaise offers high-quality wines with unique character without heavily impacting the wallet. For wine lovers looking to further explore Burgundy, the Côte Chalonnaise is a pleasant surprise that proves top wines don't always have to be expensive.

What is produced in the Côte Chalonnaise?

The Côte Chalonnaise is known for both its red and white wines. The red wines are primarily made from the Pinot Noir grape, while the white wines are often derived from the Chardonnay grape. The region encompasses several appellations, including Mercurey, Givry, Rully, Bouzeron, and Montagny. The wines from this region often have a refined structure and pronounced terroir, giving each bottle its own unique character. The red wines from Mercurey, for example, are known for their firm yet elegant tannins, while the white wines from Montagny are noted for their freshness and minerality.

What dishes pair well with Côte Chalonnaise wines?

The wines from the Côte Chalonnaise are versatile and pair well with a wide range of dishes. The fresh Chardonnay wines combine excellently with seafood, light fish dishes, and poultry. They are also perfect with creamy sauces and soft cheeses such as Brie and Camembert. The Pinot Noir wines are ideal with poultry, veal, and lighter meat dishes such as duck and chicken. They also pair well with earthy-flavored dishes, such as mushrooms, carrots, and risotto. Both types of wines, both red and white, are suitable for serving with a light meal or even with some desserts.
