Burgundy
Burgundy (or Bourgogne in French) is a legendary wine region in eastern France.
Most of the red wines are made from pinot noir grapes and white from chardonnay grapes.
Burgundy has a higher number of AOCs than any other French region, often seen as the most terroir conscious. The various AOCs are classified from grand cru vineyards down to non-specific regional appellations.
Chablis is the furthest north-region and produces some of the greatest whites.
Further south lies the Côte d’Or, split into Côte de Nuits, home to many of the world’s finest Pinot Noir wines, and Côte de Beaune where Chardonnay plays a more prominent role, though outstanding red and white are produced throughout.
And South is the Côte Chalonnaise and the Maconnais.
Further south is the Côte Chalonnaise and the Maconnais with Burgundy’s best priced wines.
