Bourgogne/Chablis

Bourgogne, a place with a unique heritage, enjoys a climate that is particularly well-suited to vine cultivation. The convergence of Mediterranean, continental and oceanic influences plays a major role in terms of the aromatic richness and global reputation of its wines. The vineyards of Bourgogne are home to some celebrated varietals. With more than 90% planted with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Bourgogne is also a showcase for Gamay and Aligoté. Historical home for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Bourgogne provides a terroir that is perfectly suited to bring out their very best. In Bourgogne, the wines are mainly single varietal. This “purity of expression” means that each plot gives each vintage its own personality and unique characteristics. For more information about Bourgogne wines, visit them on: www.bourgogne-wines.com, Instagram or Twitter.

Situated in the northernmost area of the region is Chablis. The grapevines around the town of Chablis are almost all Chardonnay, making a dry white wine renowned for the purity of its aroma and taste. The cool climate of this region produces wines with more acidity and flavors less fruity than Chardonnay wines grown in warmer climates of the Bourgogne region.
