Bourgogne Rouge, or Burgundy Red, encompasses red wines primarily crafted from Pinot Noir grapes falling under the Bourgogne AOC classification. These wines are acclaimed for their graceful profiles, red fruit fragrances, and intricate flavour profiles, all of which mirror the distinctive terroir of Burgundy.

Winemakers Jean-Luc Terrier and Christian Collovray of Domaine des Deux Roches have built up an impressive array of vineyards in Burgundy, today owning around 50 hectares. Across the board, their wines are among the very best expressions of the diverse terroirs of the Mâconnais, from the bright and breezy Bourgogne Blanc Tradition, vinified and raised exclusively in stainless steel, to the rich, textured St Véran, Les Terres Noires. The winery itself is located in the village of Davayé, and the majority of the vineyards lie within site of the region’s most famous landmarks – the magnificent twin escarpments of Solutré and Vergisson. This dynamic duo is also responsible for our much-loved Own Selection White Burgundy.
