Burgundian Wine
Burgundian wine refers to the wines produced in the Burgundy region of eastern France. This area is renowned for its unique terroir, which includes diverse soils and microclimates that influence the flavor profiles of the wines. The primary grape varieties used are Pinot Noir for red wines and Chardonnay for white wines, both of which are highly regarded worldwide.
The region is divided into several sub-regions, including Côte d'Or, Côte Chalonnaise, and Mâconnais. Each sub-region has its own distinct characteristics, contributing to the complexity of Burgundian wine. The wines are often classified by their vineyard origins, with prestigious labels such as Grand Cru and Premier Cru indicating higher quality and rarity.
