Passe-tout-grain produces Pinot Noir and Gamay (often 50/50) blends vinified and aged together. They are traditionally simple and inexpensive wines. A few winemakers try it out with rigor and know-how, thus producing gems of freshness with a crisp character.
Unsulphured, unfiltered, biodynamic. It is a magnificent natural wine. Sublime nose, on an explosive floral bouquet. We bite into the fruit. Lively and ample. The finish is persistent on fine and coated tannins.
L’appellation Passe-tout-grain produit des assemblages pinot noir/gamay (souvent 50/50) vinifiés et élevés ensemble. Ce sont traditionnellement des vins simples et bon marchés. Quelques vignerons s’y essayent avec rigueur et savoir-faire, produisant ainsi des joyaux de fraîcheur au caractère croquant.

La Bourgondie (Vignerons Coopérateurs) – Bourgogne Chardonnay – 2023
Bourgogne AOC – Burgundy – France 🇫🇷
Overview
100% Chardonnay from the broader Bourgogne AOC, crafted by La Bourgondie, a cooperative based in Saint-Bris-le-Vineux. This is a straightforward, regional expression aimed at accessibility, yet it surprisingly delivers the classic Burgundian markers: restraint, freshness, and mineral clarity. A reminder that even entry-level Burgundy, when done right, can stay true to its roots.
Aromas & Flavors
Fresh citrus zest, lemon peel, green apple, and white stone fruit lead the way, followed by subtle floral hints and a faint chalky minerality. There’s no overt oak influence, keeping the profile clean and transparent.
Mouthfeel
Light to medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a smooth, linear texture. Balanced and refreshing, with enough structure to feel composed rather than dilute. The finish is clean, gently saline, and quietly persistent.
Food Pairings
Grilled fish, seafood pasta, spring rolls, antipasti, white meats, mild cheeses, or simply as an aperitif. Extremely versatile at the table.
Verdict
A pleasantly surprising regional Bourgogne Chardonnay that respects tradition without trying to overperform. Honest, refreshing, and well-balanced, ideal for everyday Burgundy drinking while saving your Premier and Grand Crus for special moments.
🍷 Personal Pick Highlight
I usually avoid Burgundian bottles that put the grape variety front and center — that’s often a red flag for me. But this one proved me wrong. It delivers the fundamental nuances I look for in basic Bourgogne Chardonnay, making it a reliable “casual Burgundy” option when I want authenticity without opening the heavy hitters. — 6 months ago
Pas du tout un bourgogne mais un IGP Charentes ! Excellent au demeurant :) — 5 years ago
A very natural Syrah, by Burgundian winegrowers. Aging for one year in old casks. Crunchy and spicy, with peppery and liquorice flavors. Blindly we think of a high-quality Croze-Hermitage. As is often the case with low-sulfur wines, there is good volume and freshness. An accessible and refined wine. A beautiful domaine whom I discover the different vintages, each more successful than the last.
Une Syrah tres nature, par des vignerons Bourguignons. Élevage d’un an en fût ancien. Croquant et épicé, avec des saveurs poivrées et réglisse. À l’aveugle on pense à un Croze-Hermitage de haute facture. Comme souvent avec les vins peu soufrés, on a beau volume et de la fraîcheur. Un vin accessible et raffiné. Un beau domaine dont je découvre les différentes cuvées, toutes plus réussies les unes que les autres. — 5 years ago

@John Howard said it well: simple and good. Forward berry fruit, slightly candied. Touch of floral and black pepper notes. Similar on the palate with juicy acidity and a kiss of tannins. Dry finish. Gulp gulp. — 3 months ago
