Overview

Between Aloxe-Corton, Savigny-lès-Beaune, and Beaune, Chorey’s gently sloping vineyards grow mainly Pinot Noir on eroded limestone-marl deposits. The reds emphasize bright cherry fruit and supple texture, while scarce whites offer fresh Chardonnay character.

Geography & Climate

The vineyards lie on low, gently inclined ground at the foot of the Côte de Beaune north of Beaune.

Soils

Limestone-marl alluvium, iron-rich material, stony subsoils, calcium-rich gravel, and pebbly clay reflect erosion from higher slopes.

Wine Styles

Almost all production is red Pinot Noir, with a small and growing quantity of white Chardonnay.
