Located in the center-east of France, Burgundy extends over 300 kilometers. Renowned for being the country of the small owners where the average surface never exceeds ten hectares, it produces many treasures. The subsoil composed of limestone presents on the surface a relief of hillsides on which the vine grows.
Two grape varieties share the vineyard: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Chardonnay, the base of the white wine of Burgundy, gives very different results depending on the vinification and the terroirs. Less demanding in its elaboration than for red wines, the vinification of Chardonnay gives complex and concentrated wines. A great white Burgundy will be full-bodied, with notes of honey and hazelnut.
The wines of Burgundy are classified in four main categories: The Grand Crus, grouping together 33 A.O.C. wines, representing 2% of the total production. The premiers crus, concerning 12% of the total production. The village wines or communal appellations grouping together the A.O.C. of the name of the village or which may concern several communes such as Chablis. The regional appellations gather 22 regional A.O.C.
