Partisans, and they are many claim that Burgundy is truly the #1 or number 2 wine-producing area in France, if not in the globe. The wine reviewed below comes from somewhere in Burgundy, whose wine production is kind of ninety percent white, just about exclusively Chardonnay. The Aligot grape is Burgundys number 2 white grape, but remains fairly unknown. To the best of our data the reviewed wine is pure Aligot and does not come from the Bouzeron area of Burgundy. The castle then went thru numerous owners till the French Revolution when it was expropriated and the hamlets name was modified to Montfranc. You will find a bargain, and I'm hoping that youll have fun on this fact-filled wine education tour in which we review a local white Chardonnay. Among Frances eleven wine-growing regions Burgundy ranks 4th in acreage if you include the Beaujolais area, which most of the people do in spite of their substantial differences. The wine reviewed below comes from the Mconnais area of southern Burgundy, whose wine production is sort of ninety percent white, just about exclusively Chardonnay. The site contains a horse-breeding center set up by Napoleon using stone from the abbey. Do not forget to tour the city of Autun once called Augustodonum, town of Augustus. But do visit Autuns Portes ( Archways ) and the Thtre Romain, once the biggest arena in Gaul ( Roman France ) with room for fifteen thousand spectators. Every August ( do you believe thats a coincidence? ) historically costumed neighbors put on a period piece. But the artichoke and garlic salsa made this thin Burgundy, yes it's a Burgundy, even thinner. The cheese itself was more flavorsome, by contrast the wine was weaker.
