Simply put, other than in rare instances, red Burgundy wines are usually made from the Pinot Noir grape and white Burgundy wines are made from Chardonnay. The wines are always 100% varietal as blending is not permitted. Other grapes like Gamay (red) and Aligote (white) are permitted in certain appellations and are labeled as such.
Common Burgundy wines are labeled "Bourgogne wine" or "Vin de Bourgogne" and almost always have the name of the grape, such as Pinot Noir or Chardonnay, prominently on the label.
The limestone escarpment that gives the entire Burgundy wine region its unique terroir is called the Côte d'Or. The most important wines of Burgundy in the Côte d'Or come from the sub-regions named Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. As the wines of Burgundy have received increased in demand by consumers worldwide, wines from the Côte Chalonnaise, a small area to the south that was thought to be inferior in the past, are beginning to receive attention and have largely improved.
Wines from Chablis, Beaujolais, and the Maconnais are also considered Burgundy wines.
WE9393 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 5/1/2022 This violet-scented Pinot Noir is marked by plump, mouth-drenching black-cherry and plum flavors edged by licks of sweet spice and vanilla. Framed by fine, glossy tannins and a juicy spine of acidity, this immediately welcoming wine is particularly joyous young but will likely hold well through 2027. (Anna Lee C.

WE9393 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 5/1/2022 Salty, mineral freshness extends from nose to finish in this ripe, broad-shouldered wine. Red-cherry and plum flavors are fleshy and concentrated on the palate, lifted by a tang of cranberry acidity and a pleasantly leafy, herbal finish. Soft in tannins and kissed with sweet spice, the wine is ready now but will likely to hold through 2029. (Anna Lee C.

WE9393 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 3/1/2022 Initially reductive notes of scorched earth and smoke in this wine dissipate with aeration, revealing pristine yellow apple and Mirabelle. Edged by a crush of oyster shells and salty mineral tones, this invigorating sip finishes on a whisper of white pepper. The wine is just starting to open now but should drink well through 2030. (Anna Lee C. Iijima)VN9292 pts. - Vinous - Sep 2022 The 2020 Chablis Vau de Vey 1er Cru has an attractive bouquet with wild peach, light quince and flinty aromas, quite complex though I would not describe it as “intense”. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, harmonious, quite sappy towards the finish with decent length. Perhaps like the Butteaux, I would have liked a little more tension on the finish, but it should still give 8–10 years’ drinking pleasure. Tasted blind at the BIVB tasting in Chablis. (Neal Martin)
WE9393 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/1/2020 This wine immediately conveys a sense of concentration with its nose of insistent, dark cherry paired with subtle tar and toast notes. The palate confirms this and presents concentrated fruit on a sinuous, elegant body with silkily woven tannins. For now the oak still casts a tarry spell but this will subside with a little more bottle age. Lovely freshness prevails.
WE9393 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/1/2021 Hints of smoky lapsang souchong tea leaves and anise accent ripe yet zesty blackberry and cassis in this full-bodied, supple red. It’s a rich, rounded Pinot Noir held upright by zesty darts of acidity and finishing in pools of soft, silky tannins. While a bit nervous in youth it should hit peak from 2024 through 2030 and hold further. (Anna Lee C. Iijima)WS9393 pts. - Wine & Spirits - 10/21 Xavier Monnot farms two acres in Clos des Chênes, one acre planted in 1936, the other in 1978. Those old vines produced a dark and meaty Volnay in 2019, perfumed up front, then calming to red cherry succulence in a firm finish. The wine seems to harness the heat of the vintage and direct it into potential energy, well worth following over the next five to ten years.VN90+90–92 pts. - Vinous - Dec 2020 The 2019 Volnay Clos des Chênes 1er Cru has a well-defined bouquet featuring overt floral notes of rose petal and pressed irises. There is a subtle confit element that becomes apparent with aeration. The palate is plush and fleshy on the entry, and there is a fine bead of acidity to keep it balanced. A polished Clos des Chênes with a little spice on the finish. It will require 3–4 years in bottle, like the Beaune Toussaints, but it has the substance to age well for another 12–15 years, possibly more. (Neal Martin)
