Burgundy

Burgundy refers to both a region in east-central France and a type of red wine produced there. The Burgundy region is renowned for its vineyards, which benefit from a unique climate and soil, fostering high-quality grape varieties, particularly Pinot Noir for red wines and Chardonnay for white. Burgundy wines are often distinguished by their complexity and depth of flavor, influenced by factors such as terroir (the environmental conditions of the vineyard). The region is also historical, known for its rich heritage, including its role in the medieval wine trade and its association with powerful dukes.
