Burgundy locates in central-eastern France, near the city of Dijon, is built on centuries of winemaking tradition, with close historical links to the monasteries. There are four different classifications in Burgundy: regional, commune, and two kinds of single vineyard communes, premier cru and grand cru.
Burgundy’s key grape varieties are Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, largely due to the cool and moderate climate of the region.
In Burgundy, the concept of “terroir” (land) is very important, since it’s the soil that gives its name to the wine.
