    Burgundy is world-famous for its white wines made from Chardonnay grapes and red wines made from Pinot Noir, native vines of this region, wines that have always been considered as reference models for other regions where wines are produced with the same grapes. 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. Both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir produce the best results in cool climates like that of Burgundy and it is for this reason that the level of quality 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.

    In addition to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Burgundy also grows 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.
