Saint-Aubin wine

Rather than being situated on the main Côte d'Or escarpment, as most of the other Côte de Beaune wine villages, the vineyards of Saint-Aubin are mainly located in a side valley to the west of Chassagne-Montrachet.

The Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) Saint-Aubin may be used for white and red wine with respectively Chardonnay and Pinot noir as the main grape variety.

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.

There are 20 climats in Saint-Aubin classified as Premier Cru vineyards.

Another group is situated on an east-facing slope in the side valley, forming a band immediately above the village of Saint-Aubin itself.
