Burgundy
One of the world’s most famous wine regions,
Burgundy is responsible for the world’s most sought-after
Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Burgundy is somewhat
unique among great wine regions in that its white wines
are as esteemed as its red...Burgundy’s best red wines are made from
Pinot Noir, especially in the Côte d’Or, where it gives
elegant, fruity wines that merit extended cellaring.
Gamay is a secondary variety throughout the region and
is sometimes partnered with Pinot Noir for entry-level
blends.
