A new classification—Coteaux Bourguignons—was created in 2011 to replace two older classifications.
Essentially, “Coteaux Bourguignons” translates to the “hills of Burgundy,” and wines labelled under this designation have no restrictions attached. That means you can find red, rosé, and white wines that might be a single varietal-wine or a blend of grapes. Reds are usually made from a blend of pinot noir & gamay which go together rather well!
Coteaux Bourguignons allows fruit to be sourced from greater Burgundy & Beaujolais regions. Domaine de la Creuze Noire Coteaux Bourguignons is a blend of Pinot Noir and Gamay which gives an exceptionally smooth soft approachable wine.

Deep, rich purple in the glass, almost opaque at the core. On the nose: ripe dark fruits such as black cherry and plum with smoky oak, leather, a touch of earthy undergrowth and some sweet spices like liquorice. On the palate it's full bodied, robust and quite structured, there’s generous dark fruit, balanced by savoury, mineral tones and firm tannins. The oak adds nuance but not sweetness, giving hints of vanilla and toast. Finish is long and slightly dry with lingering black fruit, spice and a subtle leathery note. A powerful wine that drinks well now (with decanting) and should develop further complexity with a few more years of bottle age.

Deep ruby red with a subtle garnet rim, it opens with vibrant aromas of cherry and red plum enriched by notes of liquorice and a faint trace of violet. The palate is medium bodied and silky showing juicy fruit at the front, balanced by polished tannins and a fresh seam of acidity. There’s a savoury edge, minerality, a touch of iron or earthy stone that gives complexity. The finish lingers nicely on red fruit and spice, soft but well-structured. A wine that’s enjoyable now but has enough backbone to benefit from short-term ageing.

Attractive oak aromas with soft cassis and black cherry fruit flavours leading onto a complex palate with good structure and fine tannins

Bright purple with vivid, youthful hues. The nose opens with vibrant red fruit — cherry, raspberry — mingled with darker berry notes like blackberry, all lifted by a fresh, herbal breeze of garrigue and a subtle lift of anise. On the palate it is soft and gentle: the fruit is tender and juicy, with good freshness but no harsh edges. Tannins are light, the finish smooth and approachable. This is a fragrant, easy-drinking Cinsault with charm and character, best enjoyed in its youth over the next few years.

This is a round fleshy wine, pleasant to drink even at an early age offering ripe fruity aromas and a lovely balance in the mouth with supple tannins.
An excellent value Bordeaux, the wine offers rich red fruit on a palate that is supple and round. The silky tannins blend easily with the fruit character and pairs beautifully with dishes like braised lamb or steak.
