I like French food and wine - A Burgundy Aligote.

The is affecting of global warming is causing concern around the world and it appears that France is not an exception. Last week, systematic pros gathered at the Varsity of Burgundy in Dijon to talk about the effect that global temperature increases might have on Frances wine growing regions. Yet concerns have been raised that many parts of France, including the famous Burgundy area, could get too hot to grow grapes for wine. Though its reasonably rare, you can even find a bargain, and I'm hoping that youll have a good time 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 most folk do despite their substantial differences. The wine reviewed below comes from somewhere in Burgundy, whose wine production is nearly ninety percent white, pretty much exclusively Chardonnay.

Well find out if this shortage of disrepute is merited or not. Beaune vineyards. To the very 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 actually should, make efforts to stop by the Cte dOr town of Chteauneuf about 25 miles ( 40 kilometers ) southwest of Dijon in northwards Burgundy. Its focus is the Chteau ( Castle ) built in 1132 and occupied by the same family for 9 generations till 1456 when Cathrine of Chteauneuf was burnt to death, it is often said that she poisoned her 2nd man, Jacques dHaussonville.
