Burgundy is another famous wine region in France, located in the eastern part of the country. It's known for producing some of the finest and most demand wines in the world. Burgundy is divided into six sub-regions: 'Chablis', 'Côte de Nuits', 'Côte de Beaune', 'Côte Chalonnaise', 'Mâconnais' and 'Beaujolais'.
Sub-regions and their styles
Burgundy has focused on production of red wines from Pinot Noir grape and white wines from Chardonnay. Chablis is famous for mineral and fresh white wines, vines for which growing on Kimmeridgian limestone. 'Billaud-Simon' is one of the oldest producers here, founded in 1815 and makes wines in classical way.
Complex and elegant Pinot Noir is produced in 'Côte de Nuits' in 'Gevrey-Chambertin' appellation. Another commune here is 'Vosne-Romanee', which is always in demand and higher-value. To meet general Pinot Noir style with red cherry, raspberry and earthiness you can in 'Nuits-Saint George'. Wines from 'Domaine Faiveley' are always reflecting characteristics of the region.
'Côte de Beaune' shows more structure and body in its wines. 'Volnay' and 'Pommard' are two main villages. The wines from 'Volnay' have cherry, rose and cranberry aromas with touch of farmyard and velvet tannins while 'Pommard' has combination of red and black berries, fuller body and tannins. 'Nicolas Rossignol' is a wizard producing benchmarks in both villages.
'Cote de Beaune' is also famous for white wines, especially from 'Meursault', 'Chassagne-Montrachet' and 'Puligny-Montrachet'. Chardonnay here loves aging in oak barrels. It gives complexity to the wines and rounds the body. Wines from satellites like 'Saint-Romain' and 'Auxey-Duresses' usually cost less than grand communes, but perfect to know the style.
'Côte Chalonnaise' and 'Mâconnais' reflect the fruity and ripe style of Burgundy with touch of tropical and exotic fruits. And if the first one produces both red and white wines 'Mâconnais' famous for its full-bodied whites with distinctive peach, pineapple and vanilla aromas, notably from 'Pouilly-Fuissé' village.
'Beaujolais' is only one appellation which is devoted to red wines from Gamay grape: pomegranate, banana, bramble and violet tones are often characteristics. Wines from this appellation have been in high demand during the last couple of years. This merit belongs to 'Domaine Lapierre' wines, which are benchmark of the terroir in the 'Morgon' village.
Classification and climate
Unlike Bordeaux, Burgundy wines are often classified based on the vineyard they come from rather than the producer. The region follows a classification system that distinguishes between different vineyards and their quality, known as Village level, Premier Cru and Grand Cru. It means that several producers can make wine from one plot, for example 'Les Santenots Volnay' Premier Cru is produced by 'Armand Heitz' and 'Jacques Prieur'.
The climate in Burgundy is continental, which means it experiences cold winters and warm summers. This climate, combined with the region's diverse soils and terroir, contributes to the distinct characteristics found in Burgundy wines.
Overall, Burgundy wines are celebrated for their finesse, purity, and ability to age gracefully over time. They remain highly standard by wine enthusiasts and collectors around the world.
