Burgundy
Burgundy is a prestigious wine region in France, famous for its exceptional red and white wines. The region is best known for:
Red Wines: Made primarily from Pinot Noir, Burgundy reds are elegant, fruity, and complex, with earthy and floral notes. The best examples come from areas like Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune.
White Wines: Chardonnay is the key grape, producing wines ranging from crisp and mineral (like Chablis) to richer, buttery styles (like Meursault).
Burgundy’s unique terroir and small, fragmented vineyards contribute to the region's high-quality, often expensive wines. Key sub-regions include Chablis (for dry whites) and Beaujolais (for light reds from Gamay). Burgundy wines emphasize quality and reflect the distinct characteristics of each vineyard.
