Anciently famous and rich, Burgundy’s wine history is one of the longest in the world. For nearly 2000 years a unique vine culture has been cultivated in this region, shaped by outstanding scenery, exceptional heritage, and unique know-how.

The region is a home to two key grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Pinot Noir is a red grape variety that produces rich, complex wines with flavors of red fruit and spice. Chardonnay, on the other hand, is a white grape variety that produces crisp, refreshing wines with flavors of citrus, apple, and pear. In addition to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, two other grape varieties are also cultivated throughout the region: Gamay and Aligoté. Gamay is a red grape variety that produces light-bodied, fruity wines, while Aligoté is a white grape variety that is often used to make sparkling wine.

The highest-quality vineyard areas are classified as Grand Crus, followed by Premier Crus, Village and Regional. The region is located in the eastern part of France and consists of several sub-regions, each of which offers its own character. The vineyards are elevated at 219m on average and are affected by predominantly continental climate, with short summers and cool winters.

Burgundy’s wines are known for their elegance, complexity, and balance. The region’s cool climate and limestone-rich soils create ideal growing conditions for the grapes, resulting in wines that are expressive, nuanced, and reflective of their terroir.
