Chorey-lès-Beaune, just to the north of the town of Beaune, produces, for Burgundy, quite affordable soft, fruit forward red wine. Along with Gevrey-Chambertin it is unique in having a significant amount of its vineyards on the otherside of the RN74 road that runs the length of the Cote d’Or. With no grand or premier crus, a majority of the wine is bottled as Cote de Beaune-Villages and by result makes an important contribution to the appellation.
