Red - Burgundy

Burgundy is world-famous for its white wines from Chardonnay grapes and red wines from Pinot Noir. Burgundy is located in the central-eastern part of France and is one of the northernmost places in the world where red wines are produced. Pinot Noir produces its best results in cool climates like Burgundy and it is for this reason that the quality level achieved here remains unmatched to this day. On the other hand, the latitude also has its disadvantages: adverse weather conditions can lead to wines with taste-olfactory profiles that are not always optimal in unfavorable years. Burgundy wines therefore tend to be different depending on the year, which makes the variety and complexity of this region even more intriguing.

Also grown in Burgundy are Aligoté (a white grape variety from the Mâconnais used to produce mass-produced wines and sometimes found in Crémant de Bourgogne) and Gamay, the famous red grape used to produce Beaujolais wines.
