Burgundy
Burgundy (Bourgogne) is the spiritual home of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. This legendary French region is renowned for its patchwork of vineyards, each with its own personality shaped by subtle variations in soil, slope, and microclimate. It’s a region that embodies the concept of terroir more than any other—where wines are defined not just by grape, but by the very parcel of land they come from.
From the ethereal reds of Chambolle-Musigny to the structured wines of Gevrey-Chambertin, from the mineral-driven whites of Chablis to the rich, nutty expressions of Meursault, Burgundy offers wines that are as diverse as they are profound. While Grand Cru bottlings are among the most sought-after in the world, Burgundy also delivers plenty of accessible wines that carry the same sense of place.
