Location of Burgundy

Burgundy is located in the eastern part of France and is known as a region that produces high-quality wines. It is a famous wine-producing region that was loved by many royalty and aristocrats, including Louis XIV and Napoleon, and has many fans around the world.

One of the major characteristics of Burgundy wine is that it is a monovarietal wine made without blending grape varieties . Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are famous varieties, and the characteristics of the climate and soil are easily reflected.

In Burgundy, each small plot of vineyard contains different minerals and other ingredients. Because the strata of the vineyards are finely divided and have a very complex structure, Burgundy wine can be said to make the most of the characteristics of the land (terroir) .

Burgundy's AOCs are roughly divided into four categories : Grand Cru, Premier Cru, Village, and District/Region , and wines from the same vineyard can be rated differently depending on the winemaker.

The Nuits and Beaune regions, the best wine-producing regions in Burgundy, have very complex strata on the hillsides that are finely divided, meaning that the minerals and other components contained in each small plot of vineyard vary .

Wines from Burgundy are made to make the most of the unique characteristics of the land (terroir), so choosing a wine can seem quite difficult due to the complexity of the appellation.

However, Burgundy also offers the possibility of discovering a wonderful wine that you will never forget. The more you learn about Burgundy wine, the more you will be captivated by its deep charm.
