But PTG and BGO together make up something like 2% of production, and
way less than 1% of exports.


I was surprised that it was that low, but you are right - if you
include all Burgundy's production, including Beaujolais (which is a
huge chunk of the total) and white wines. I was also surprised to see
how little BGO is produced compared to PTG.
