Just to clarify - "Cabernet, Merlot, Malbec, Grenche, Old varietys of Sauvignon [sic}" are absolutely NEVER in a Burgundy.
It is actually illegal to even grow those grapes in Burgundy. Gamay is used in Beaujolais, which overlaps a small area of souther Burgundy.
When people say red Burgundy, they mean Pinot Noir.

Red Burgundy is made only from Pinot Noir -- if you are doing some sort of quiz, that Pinot Noir is the answer.
The person who mentioned Ch Palmer is correct that it is an excellent (not to mention expensive) wine, but it comes from Bordeaux not Burgundy

Ron R, you have lots of wine questions at the moment.
Red burgundies are all made from Pinot Noir (from Dijon to just south of Macon) or Gamay (in Beaujolais further south). Where the two meet there are a couple of appellations that are blends
of the two, such as AOC Pass-Tout-Grains, but in my judgement the similar blend of the Swiss wine Dole is usually better.

As stated the grape variety varys by winery, most are blends and if a single grape they say.
Cabernet, Merlot, Malbec, Grenche, Old varietys of Sauvignon and Pinot Noir.
A nice treat if you can find a bottle is Chateau Palmer.
