Bourgogne Grand Ordinaire AC

[boor-GON-yuh grahn ohr-dee-NEHR] The general regional appellation known as BGO, that is rarely used today. Its requirements are even lower than those for the bourgogne ac so most winemakers opt for the latter. The grape varieties are the same as allowed for Bourgogne AC wines, with the addition of melon de bourgogne for white wines. In the Yonne département the local Sacy grape variety is also allowed in white wines. As the name implies, the wines are fairly ordinary.
