South of the Côte d'Or, the Côte Chalonnaise follows Bourgogne through five appellations: Mercurey, Givry, Rully, Montagny and Bouzeron. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Aligoté all have a place here. It keeps the region's village logic in view beyond the Côte d'Or, with each of those names offering another way into Bourgogne's map.
