The Grands Crus are separate AOCs in their own right and the name of the village is not part of the wine name. Only the vineyard name appears on the label along with the words “Grand Cru.”

Chablis is an exception to this rule with the village name – Chablis – always appearing on the label.

There are 33 Grand Cru vineyards in Bourgogne. Together these make up 1% of the total production (2019).

Q

Fermentation style for Bourgogne whites

A

Regional AOC - usually in stanless steal tanks or 228 liter barrels (or combination of both)

55
Q

Fermentation style for Chablis and Macconais white wines?

A

Most Mâconnais and Chablis wines are fermented – and aged – in stainless steel, concrete or in neutral oak casks.

New oak barrels – or casks – give the most oak flavor. This reduces with each year of use and after five years they give no more flavor – so are neutral. They do however still let the air in through the grain and so oxidate – and so soften – the wine. Neutral oak adds no oak flavor.

56
Q

Fermentation style for Cote d’Or and Côte Chalonnaise white wines?

A

Oak maturation is normal for white wines in the Côte d’Or and Côte Chalonnaise – especially for the Premiers Crus and Grands Crus.

New barrels give the most oak flavor, so older barrels tend to be used with a percentage of new oak as well – typically between 20-50%. The richer wines – especially Grand Cru – will have the highest proportion of new oak.

Bâtonnage is usually carried out during the maturation. This lees stirring integrates flavors and develops those bready complex characters and a creamy texture as well.

57
Q

What is Premox?

A

White Bourgogne aging too quickly – or becoming completely oxidized.

Current thinking is that has multiple causes. Different clones, fully ripe fruit, less use of sulfur and less bâtonnage remain primary suspects. Winemakers are taking action on all of these causes and premox is far less widely seen than it was ten years or so ago.
