Château de Chamilly

The Côte Chalonnaise is where Burgundy keeps its sense of proportion, and Château de Chamilly, a family estate in the hamlet of Chamilly, is a good example. Not every wine needs to be complex or pensive; the Bourgogne Rouge is a simple, fun sipper — sour cherry and candy on the nose, juicy red fruit, clean acidity.

The Montagny 1er Cru Les Burnins shows the serious side: Chardonnay from the southern end of the Côte with real grip.
