What red grape varieties are there in the Coteaux Bourguignons?

In the Coteaux Bourguignons appellation of origin, red grape varieties such as Pinot Noir are allowed, which is the most prominent in the Burgundy region and produces elegant and complex wines. Gamay, the main variety in the Beaujolais region, is also used to make light and fruity wines. In addition, the use of César, an autochthonous variety from Burgundy, which provides intense and structured wines, as well as Pinot Beurot (Pinot Gris) in its red version, which contributes medium-bodied wines and fruit aromas, is allowed. These varieties allow for a wide range of styles and flavors in the wines of the Coteaux Bourguignons appellation.

How are red wines from Coteaux Bourguignons made?

The production of Coteaux Bourguignons wines follows the traditional methods of Burgundy winemaking. The grapes are harvested by hand, carefully selecting the ripe and quality grapes.

The grapes are then separated from the clusters and lightly broken to release the must and compounds from the grapes. Some growers may choose to ferment whole grapes without destemming.

The must is placed in fermentation tanks, where selected yeasts are added, or spontaneous fermentation is allowed with the yeasts naturally present in the grapes. During fermentation, the sugars are converted into alcohol and characteristic aromas and flavors develop.

A maceration can be performed to extract the color, flavor and tannin compounds from the skins of the grapes. The duration of the maceration can vary according to the style of wine that you want to obtain.

After fermentation and maceration, pressing is carried out to extract the remaining liquid from the skins and seeds. This liquid is added to the resulting wine.

Some Coteaux Bourguignons wines may undergo an aging process in oak barrels to develop greater complexity and subtle flavors. However, other wines can be fresher and fruitier, without going through prolonged aging.

After a suitable period of aging, the wine is bottled. Some producers may opt for pre-bottling filtration, while others prefer to bottle unfiltered to further preserve the integrity of the wine.
