What are the five large sub-regions of Burgundy?

• A. Chablis, Cote d'Or, Cote Chalonnaise, Maconnais, Beaujolais
• B. Beaujolais, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Maconnais, Chablis
• C. Rhone, Loire, Alsace, Burgundy, Beaujolais
• D. Chablis, Meursault, Pommard, Gevrey-Chambertin, Beaujolais

Answer: (A)

Burgundy’s geography is organized into five large sub-regions from north to south: Chablis, Côte d’Or, Côte Chalonnaise, Mâconnais, and Beaujolais. Côte d’Or is the central belt that houses the famed areas Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, but it’s treated as one sub-region in this framework. That’s why the correct set is Chablis, Côte d’Or, Côte Chalonnaise, Mâconnais, and Beaujolais. The other options don’t fit because they either split Côte d’Or into two parts (Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune) rather than using the single umbrella name, include regions outside Burgundy, or list individual towns rather than the broad sub-regions.
