About The Varietal
César is a minor red grape grown in Burgundy, mainly around Irancy. Known for its dark color and tannic nature, it is often blended in small amounts with Pinot Noir to add structure and color, especially in weaker vintages. It contributes to wines under the Irancy AOC and Côteaux Bourguignons appellations. An ancient variety, César has been cultivated in northern Burgundy for over 2,000 years, with recent DNA evidence suggesting it is a cross between Pinot Noir and Argant. Legend claims Roman soldiers introduced the grape, which is reflected in its name and synonyms.
