Burgundy is Pinot Noir if red, Chardonnay if white. There are a few
exceptions (bourgogne passetoutgrains, bourgogne aligote, Gouges Nuits-St.
George, Sauvignon de St. Bris), but the rule will apply to 99.98% of
Burgundy you'll find in US.

Does this mean that passetoutgrains is not Pinot Noir, if so, what is it
(and if the answer is passetoutgrains, well so be it!)

It's at least 1/3 PN, the rest being Gamay. IIRC the grapes are
fermented together.

Passetoutgrains (or Passe-Tout-Grains, or Passetoutgrain!) is Pinot
Noir and Gamay. I think that there has to be at least 33% PN. If more
Gamay than that (or all Gamay) I think it can be marketed as Bourgogne
Grande Ordinaire (but one seldom sees that in US at least).
HTH!

Oops, somehow missed that Steve (and Mike) had already answered!

Bourgogne Grand Ordinaire. That's right.
