Bourgogne Passe Tout Grains is a French wine appellation that covers the entire Burgundy region in France. The name translates as 'Burgundy Past All Grains,' which refers to the traditional blend of grapes used in its production - a mix of Pinot Noir and Gamay, with Pinot Noir accounting for at least one-third.
This wine is known to be light and fruity, often with a touch of earthiness. Its medium-bodied profile and soft tannins make it a flexible accompaniment to a variety of dishes. It often exhibits flavors of red and black fruits, such as cherries and blackberries, layered with earthy undertones.
The wine is traditionally intended for early drinking, making it a highly approachable choice for those new to the Burgundy region. However, some higher quality versions of Bourgogne Passe Tout Grains can age for up to five years or more.
It's worth noting that wines produced under the Bourgogne Passe Tout Grains AOC are relatively rare, accounting for less than 0.5% of the total wine production in Burgundy. As such, it offers wine lovers a unique opportunity to explore a less common but delicious facet of Burgundian wine.
