[edit] History

The Bourgogne Passe-Tout-Grains became a regional apellation on 31 July 1937

[edit] Appellation

Bourgogne Passe-Tout-Grains is produced in 91 communes from the department of Côte d'Or, 85 communes from Rhône 154 communes from the Saône et Loire region and 54 communes from the Yonne region of France.

It must contain at least one third Pinot Noir and Pinot Liébault, with the rest Gamay.

The Pinot and Gamay are fermented together. This process starts with a carbonic maceration and continues with a traditional fermentation. The wine is usually released young, and shows no aging potential. It is recommended that it is drunk within 2-3 years, and the ideal serving temperature is 16 Celsius. A little rosé wine is produced under the appellation.
