Buy Wine from Bourgogne

Burgundy is one of the French regions where the best vineyards are found. The most important Burgundy area is, by far, Côte d'Or. This is divided into Côte de Nuits at the north and Côte de Beaune at the south, where only Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are cultivated. 

We should not forget Chardonnay white wines from Chablis, red and white wines from Côte Chalonnaise and whites from Mâcon, as they are included in the appellation Burgundy. At the south of Mâcon we find the Beaujolais department, with soils, grapes and styles totally different.

To speak of Burgundy is to speak about simplicity and hardiness. Unlike Bordeaux, in Burgundy there are not big holdings or castles. The vast majority of lands were distributed by Napoleon, being fragmented in small terrains not bigger than 6 hectares per person. Thus, a specific vineyard (Climat) can have seven owners, a fact that brings a diversity of styles depending on the year, harvest, grapevine work, vinifications… At the same time one vigneron can have up to 8 hectares shared out all through Burgundy and provide different appellation's wines.

At Burgundy there are about one hundred AOC (appellations or designations of origin), most of them referring to specific towns. However, there are also regional designations as Bourgogne Blanc, Bourgogne Rouge, Bourgogne Grand Ordinaire and Bourgogne Passetoutgrains that include all the wines produced with grapes grown at any Burgudy spot, even in famous municipalities where the soil is declassified to obtain wines with communal designation.
