Red - Burgundy

Burgundy is world-famous for its white wines made from Chardonnay grapes and red wines made from Pinot Noir. Located in central-eastern France, Burgundy is one of the northernmost regions in the world where red wines are produced. Pinot Noir produces its best results in cool climates like Burgundy's, which is why the level of quality achieved here remains unmatched to this day. On the other hand, the latitude also has its drawbacks: adverse weather conditions in unfavorable years can result in wines with less than optimal flavor and aroma profiles. Burgundy wines therefore tend to be different from year to year, making the variety and complexity of this region even more intriguing.

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