Burgundy

Burgundy, in eastern France, is famed for its nuanced, terroir-driven wines made primarily from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The region’s wines range from delicate, aromatic reds in the Côte de Nuits to mineral, age-worthy whites in the Côte de Beaune. Burgundy’s vineyard hierarchy is complex, with small, precisely defined parcels often divided among multiple producers. The most celebrated Grand Crus include Romanée-Conti, known for its extraordinary finesse and rarity; La Tâche, powerful and perfumed; and Chambertin, rich and structured. For whites, Montrachet is the pinnacle, offering immense depth and precision, while Corton-Charlemagne delivers racy, mineral-laced complexity. These vineyards represent the heart of Burgundy’s reputation as a source of some of the world’s most expressive and sought-after wines.
