Burgundy

Burgundy produces some of the world’s greatest red and white wines from the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grape varieties. Situated between Dijon and Lyon in central-eastern France it includes five separate vine growing districts. These include Chablis, the Cote Chalonnaise, the Maconnais and Beaujolais. However, the most celebrated area is the Cote d’Or which includes the Cote de Nuits and the Cote de Beaune.

In contrast to Bordeaux, Burgundy is much smaller in volume terms and has a continental climate. The greatest wines in Burgundy are designated by their status as a Grand Cru vineyard, some of which are less than one hectare. (Financial Times)
