Burgundy stretches from the Yonne region in the far north (including Chablis), through the Côte d'Or centers of Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, to the Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais in the south.
Burgundy has a complex appellation system, with more than 700 appellations, including Premier Cru (1st grade fields) and Grand Cru (special grade fields).
Therefore, Burgundy wines are often produced from vineyards (or several different vineyards) that do not have an appellation for each region, village or field.
AC Bourgogne is made from grapes grown in one or more of the 300 communes spread across Burgundy.
