Situated in eastern France, the Burgundy wine region runs from Auxerre in the north to Lyon in the south and produces the world famous Burgundy wine. Burgundy is somewhat different from other wine regions in France in that it is viewed as the most terroir-conscious of the French wine regions and has more appellation d’origine controlee (AOC’s) than any other area. The grapes used primarily in the Burgundy reds are the Pinot Noir and in the whites it is the Chardonnay, although other grape varietals such as Gamay and Aligote are farmed in quantity as well. The soil is dominated by limestone, clay and chalk which give rise to some of the most wonderful flavor profiles imaginable. Discover our great selection of Burgundy wines from all six of the distinct areas of Burgundy: Chablis, Cote de Nuits, Cote de Beaune, Cote Chalonnaise, the Caconnais and of course Beaujolais. A votre santé!
