The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.

Bonnes-Mares is a Grand Cru appellation located in Burgundy's Côte de Nuits, straddling the villages of Chambolle-Musigny and Morey-Saint-Denis. The vineyard covers approximately 15 hectares, making it one of the smaller Grand Cru sites in Burgundy. The appellation was classified as Grand Cru in 1936 as part of the AOC system.

The vineyard sits at elevations between 270 and 300 meters on a gentle east-facing slope. The soils are predominantly limestone-clay with varying compositions across the site - the Chambolle-Musigny portion tends toward lighter, more limestone-rich soils, while the Morey-Saint-Denis section contains deeper clay deposits. Only Pinot Noir is permitted, and traditional Burgundian winemaking methods dominate, with hand-harvesting and aging in French oak barrels standard practice.

Bonnes-Mares wines typically display greater power and structure than neighboring Chambolle-Musigny Grand Crus, reflecting the influence of clay-rich soils. The wines often exhibit dark fruit characteristics with earthy, mineral undertones and firm tannins that require extended aging to fully develop. The diverse soil composition across the vineyard creates subtle variations in style, with wines from different parcels showing either more finesse or more robust character depending on their precise location within the appellation.
