Named for nearby town Chalon-sur-Saone which has been an important commercial center since ancient Gaul.

Formerly known as the “Region of Mercurey”.

Soils similar to the Cote de Beaune, except in Montagny in the south. Climate is cooler due to less shelter and less favorable expositions. Grapes normally harvested one week later.
