What is the correct order of the Burgundy Quality hierarchy in Beaune from bottom to top?

The Burgundy quality hierarchy is structured to reflect the various levels of quality and classification for wines produced in the region, specifically in Beaune. The hierarchy typically ranks from the most general classification to more specific and higher-quality designations.

In this context, the correct order from bottom to top is indeed structured as follows:

• Bourgogne (a regional wine designation that includes wines from the broader Burgundy area, often considered the lowest in terms of specific terroir recognition)

• Cotes du Beaune Villages (which signifies wines from a collection of villages in the Cote de Beaune area, representing a step up in quality due to more specific origin)

• Beaune (as a village-level appellation, wines labeled simply as Beaune are generally regarded as higher quality than those classified merely under Cote de Beaune Villages)

• Champs Primont (a specific Premier Cru vineyard within Beaune, indicating a higher level of prestige and quality)

This structured ascent through the tiers clearly indicates how each classification represents a greater connection to the terroir and the quality expectations for the wines produced within those classifications. Hence, the sequential progression—Bourgogne, Cotes du Beaune Villages, Beaune, Champs Primont—accurately reflects the Burgundy
