Burgundy (or Bourgogne in French) is a legendary wine region in eastern France.<\/p>\n
Most of the red wines are made from pinot noir grapes and white from chardonnay grapes.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Chablis is the furthest north-region and produces some of the greatest whites.<\/p>\n
Further south lies the C\u00f4te d\u2019Or, split into C\u00f4te de Nuits, home to many of the world\u2019s finest Pinot Noir wines, and C\u00f4te de Beaune where Chardonnay plays a more prominent role, though outstanding red and white are produced throughout.<\/p>\n
And South is the C\u00f4te Chalonnaise and the Maconnais.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”18608″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

You would no doubt discover that Lumpp\u2019s Clos du Cras Long reaches stunning heights in ten to fifteen years, but when the wine is so plush and inviting now, it will be very difficult to keep your hands off it that long. With notes of cherries, blood orange, and spice, this will go beautifully with your next\u00a0b\u0153uf bourguignon<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0coq au vin<\/em>. \u2014Tom Wolf<\/em><\/p>\n The wine presents a brilliant carmine or crimson hue, set off by purplish highlights. Its bouquet is usually evocative of violets, strawberries and blackberries. It is forthright, fine and rich and has a warm, lively and generous character. It is often compared to Volnay.<\/p>\n This C\u00f4te Chalonnaise wine was French King, Henri IV\u2019s, favourite Burgundy.<\/p>\n Grape<\/strong>: 100% Pinot Noir<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18665,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
