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.
