His Lordship readily concedes - outside of Beaujolais, small of amounts of
Gamay (red) and in certain defined areas, Aligot (white) are still grown,
vinified, bottled and sold �- �BUT ..........

All the above will be labelled according to the individual labelling
requirements: i.e. "Bourgogne Passetoutgrains" or "Appellation Bourgogne
Aligot� Control�e".

My contention is that none of the abovementioned would be *normally* termed
Burgundy - either red or white!

Either or both of you may feel free to argue otherwise ;-)

However, I am surprised that neither of you picked up on my error �-
Burgundy covers closer to 25,000 ha (60,000 acres) !

Yes Beaujolais tends to be seen as a separate wine growing area, but
surely M'Lawd the Burgundy Alley Goat is... Burgundy? And the Sauvignon
de St Bris is, no doubt about it, Bourgogne, adminstratively and in wine
terms...

Actually we're getting close to defining just how many angels can
