This wine is produced by V. Dureuil-Jant, a respected estate known for traditional Burgundian winemaking.

Coteaux Bourguignons wines are typically blends or single-varietal wines made from the classic Burgundy grape varieties. For red wines, the primary grape is Pinot Noir. This product is predominantly Pinot Noir sourced from various vineyards within the appellation.
