The results of global warming is causing concern across the world and it appears that France isn't an exception. Yet concerns have been raised that many parts of France, including the famous Burgundy area, could get too hot to grow grapes for wine. Burgundy celebrates its love of wine But it seems like for this year at least, the French wine industry is as booming as ever with Burgundy neighbors anticipating a bunch of wine related events for 2007. Among Frances eleven wine-growing regions Burgundy ranks 4th in acreage if you include the Beaujolais area, which the majority do despite their substantial differences. Well find out if this absence of notoriousness is merited or not. As well as Burgundy Aligot is grown in Bulgaria, a not a very-well known wine producer but one that is on occasion generates bargains. The best Aligot wines are alleged to come from the town of Bouzeron and its environs, found in the Cte Chalonnaise area of Burgundy. To the best of our data the reviewed wine is pure Aligot and doesn't come from the Bouzeron area of Burgundy. If you're visiting Burgundy, and you should, make efforts to stop by the Cte dOr town of Chteauneuf about 25 miles ( 40 kilometers ) southwest of Dijon in northwards Burgundy. This tiny hilltop town appears to come straight out of the Middle Ages, apart from the holiday makers who've latterly discovered it.
Its focus is the Chteau ( Castle ) built in 1132 and occupied by the same family for nine generations till 1456 when Cathrine of Chteauneuf was burnt to death, it is claimed that she poisoned her 2nd hubby, Jacques dHaussonville. 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 world.
