Some Facts you may not Know About Burgundy Wines.

Burgundy red wines are produced in an area of France stretching from Dijon south to Beaujolais. The northwards section of Burgundy is named the Cote dOr ( hills of gold ) and sometimes, the farther north the Burgundy vineyard, the richer flavored the wine. Lots of the best burgundy vineyards are found halfway up the hillsides, halfway between very fruitful valley soils and the too steep and rocky higher slopes. The southernmost red Burgundy area is Beaujolais, where the grapes used are Gamay instead of Pinot Noir and the wines are made to emphasise fruit and charm. The making of wine goes back a few millennia and there aren't many wines more respected than those that come from France. Whats fascinating to notice is that French wines are part American. This is as in the 19th century, EU vineyards suffered from one or two different plights that incorporated disease and illness. Burgundy is found in the central eastern portion of France. Using the Pinot Noir variety derives the red wine and the white wine is made of the Chardonnay Grape. There are lots of sorts of Burgundy wines, and maybe the difference in taste is because of the fact the area has different sorts of soil. Chablis produces the white wine it is named after. This wine is both dry and fruity and enjoyed by all who taste it. These are classy red wines that are so delectable that at one point a French King commandeered a complete production for his sole use. These wines are thought to be by many to be the best ones that are made in France.

Received from so much experience, these wines have earned the desirable Premier Cru Label. They employ a different grape for their wines called the Gamay Noir. These are light fruity wines that go well with fish and fowl dishes. The French have impacted the food and drink industry heavily during the last centuries. They're well loved not only for their wine, but their pastries and chocolates too. A Burgundy wine label will always list the most particular geographical location the grapes spring from, and generally nothing else.
