Four Steps Up The Ladder

Integer tincidunt. Cras dapibus. Vivamus elementum semper nisi. Aenean vulputate eleifend tellus. Aenean leo ligula, porttitor eu, consequat vitae, eleifend ac, enim. Aliquam lorem ante, dapibus in, viverra quis, feugiat a, tellus.

Regional

Bourgogne on the label: grapes from anywhere in the region

Village

A village name, Volnay or Chablis: grapes from that village alone

Premier Cru

The village and a named vineyard: one of the better slopes

Grand Cru

The vineyard alone, no village: the very best slopes
