Burgundy Wine $81.25 Burgundy wine (French: Bourgogne or Vin de Bourgogne) is wine made in the Burgundy region in eastern France. The most famous wines produced here those commonly referred to as Burgundies are red wines made from Pinot Noir grapes or white wines made from Chardonnay grapes. Red and white wines are also made from other grape varieties, such as Gamay and Aligot respectively. Small amounts of ros and sparkling wine are also produced in the region. Chardonnaydominated Chablis and Gamaydominated Beaujolais are formally part of Burgundy wine region, but wines from those subregions are usually referred to by their own names rather than as Burgundy wines. Burgundy has a higher number of appellations dorigine contrle (AOCs) than any other French region, and is often seen as the most terroirconscious of the French wine regions. The various Burgundy AOCs are classified from carefully delineated Grand Cru vineyards down to more nonspecific regional appellations. The practice of delineating vineyards by their terroir in Burgundy go back to Medieval times, when various monasteries played a key role in developing the Burgundy wine industry.
