Burgundy

Burgundy has a long history of striving for excellence. The Bourbons, who dominated an area that extended all the way to the North Sea, built its cities and its vineyards with much splendor, and the Cistercian monks lent a hand in the Middle Ages. It is also a huge agricultural region with sweeping views that encompass regions ranging from the Morvan, which is one of France’s coolest, most rainy areas, to the Côte Chalonnaise, a peaceful wine country with sunny, warm weather. In fact, based on the methods used in the Côte Chalonnaise, all vineyards in Burgundy are now located on hillsides in order to obtain the best sun exposure. In Burgundy’s continental climate, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are used to produce its world-renowned wines.
