Chorey-les-Beaune wine

The Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) Chorey-les-Beaune, which may also be written Chorey, may be used for red and white wine with respectively Pinot noir and Chardonnay as the main grape variety.

More than 90 per cent of the production consists of red wine.

Chorey-les-Beaune wine is sometimes declassified to Côte de Beaune-Villages, which is an appellation that allow négociants to sell wine blended from several villages.

[1] Some 6.13 hectares (15.1 acres) of this area was used for the white wines in 2007.

The AOC regulations also allow up to 15 per cent total of Chardonnay, Pinot blanc and Pinot gris as accessory grapes in the red wines,[3] but this not very often practiced.
