From the Auxerre region to the north and the Beaujolais hills in the south, Greater Bourgogne offers a vast diversity of terroirs, memories and tastes!
Our territory benefits from exceptional geographical conditions, but it doesn’t end there…we have a climate that favours winegrowing, distinctive geology, outstanding grape varieties and incomparable soils – all of which contribute to the creation of internationally celebrated wines. And we mustn’t overlook the know-how, handed down from generation to generation, of our winegrowers.
Naturally, all wines from La Burgondie are born from the work of our cooperative winegrowers.

PREMIERS CRUS AND CLIMATSPremier Crus are named localities (“Climats”) within the Communal Appellations, identified for distinctive characteristics giving better wines. The name of the AOC is followed by the name of the locality classified as a Premier Cru. There are hundreds such Premier Cru Climats in all of Burgundy. These wines represent the jewels in the crown of our viticulture.
“Climat”: a very precise definition
Each Climat in Burgundy is a vineyard plot, officially defined and bearing its own name for hundreds of years. It has its own history and benefits from distinctive geological and climatic conditions. A wine produced from a Climat also has its own specific taste and its place in the quality hierarchy (Regional Appellation, Village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru). > Learn more

In 1822, some wine merchants from Chalon-sur-Saône with vineyards in Rully and Mercurey invited a young winemaker from Champagne to their estates. This initiative resulted in the birth of sparkling white wine in Burgundy. In 1975, the appellation Crémant de Bourgogne welcomed stricter production conditions, traditional yet demanding know-how and high quality winemaking. This wine is only available as sparkling white (under the names Blanc de Blancs or Blanc de Noirs) or sparkling rosé and they are mostly “Brut”.
Our winegrowers cultivate the vines for the production of Crémant (using mainly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay); the harvest is vinified in our wineries and then transformed into sparkling wine by Caves Bailly Lapierre - whose reputation is highly esteemed.
