Designation for the French wine-growing region of Burgundy, but also a regional appellation covering the entire region. It applies to all areas that either lie outside the higher-class appellations or for wines that do not comply with their strict production rules. This group is the lowest level of the four-level Burgundy classification, to which all Burgundy wines are generally entitled. Certain additional designations listed at the end limit the regional origin to smaller areas/locations or wine types. The designation Bourgogne is supplemented either by the name of a grape variety (Aligoté), a wine type (Blanc, Clairet, Crémant, Mousseux, Passe-Tout-Grain, Rosé, Rouge), a commune or a vineyard.
