Understood, thank you Jonathan!!
Hey Charles! Yes, Chaptalization is allowed at all levels of production in Burgundy.
Hi, I was wondering if Chaptalization is also allowed at Premier Cru and Grand Cru level.
I understand with the climate change and modern vineyard management techniques, grapes achieve enough ripeness naturally but may a producer decide to chaptalize their grape musts at PC and GC levels in challenging vintages?
on the section of Brouilly it says that mont Brouilly is an extinct volcano but in the InterBeaujolais site says otherwise and also explains a different "History" about the origin of the name of the region. and also mentions the region having the most diverse soil of the "Crus" as well as Beaujolais now being a 'UNESCO Global Geopark" because of that diversity in all the 12 AOCs. https://www.beaujolais.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/09/Carnet-Beaujolais-EN.pdf page 37 for the Brouilly information.
Thanks, Juan! The verbiage is updated.
in the Maranges section reads: 'The commune’s reds, exemplified by local domaines Edmund Monnot and Fernand Chevrot—both of whom own premier cru monopoles—'but Edmund Monnot now shares the Monopole of Clos de la Boutiere with Bachelet-Monnot and as for Chevrot, I can't find any monopole from this winery, even the tiny Le Croix Moines is prouced by Camille Giroud as well.
thank you
If it is four AOPs, the fourth one for red only is Cote de Beaune-Villages.
Says there are four communes in the Cotes du Beaune which may produce red wine only. Volnay, Pommard, Blagny, but what is the fourth? anyone know?
Hey Torrey! Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We will have the map updated shortly.
