if you're searching for fine French food and drink, consider the famous Burgundy area in eastern France. Though its reasonably rare, you'll even find a deal, and I'm hoping that youll have fun on this fact-filled wine education tour in which we review a local white wine based primarily on the Aligote grape. Among Frances eleven wine-growing regions Burgundy ranks 4th in acreage if you include the Beaujolais area, which the majority do despite their considerable differences. Partisans, and they're many claim that Burgundy is truly the no 1 or number two wine-producing area in France, if not in the world. The wine reviewed below comes from somewhere in Burgundy, whose wine production is nearly ninety percent white, just about exclusively Chardonnay. The best Aligot wines are alleged to come from the hamlet of Bouzeron and its environs, found in the Cte Chalonnaise area of Burgundy. These wines are often a mix of Aligot and Chardonnay.
if you're visiting Burgundy, and you truly should, make efforts to stop by the Cte dOr town of Chteauneuf about 25 miles ( 40 kilometers ) southwest of Dijon in northerly Burgundy. Set in the Jardin de LArquebuse, the gardens were made in an attempt to grow, study and protect plants and flowers from the area and all over the globe.
