Burgundy

If Bordeaux is the land of the single estate, Burgundy is the land of the single vineyard – a tapestry of towns and villages and their grand crus, premiers crus and villages vineyards. This land is the epitome of terroir.

The historic and highly respected wine region in eastern France has had devout followers of its wine throughout the world for centuries. Although Bordeaux produces about four times as much wine every year, Burgundy’s estimated 30,000 hectares (74,000 acres) of vineyards are of equal prominence, producing some of the most exclusive wines on Earth.

Burgundy wines come from several distinct sub-regions, each with its own particular character.
