One asserted that the changes would be so recounted that by the end of the century it'd be feasible to grow Syrah grapes as far north as Poo . 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 the present year at least, the French wine industry is as booming as ever with Burgundy neighbors anticipating a considerable number of wine related events for 2007. When you're looking for fine French food and wine, consider the world-renowned Burgundy area in eastern France. Though its reasonably rare, you can even find a deal, and I'm hoping that youll have a great time on this fact-filled wine education tour in which we review a local white wine based primarily on the Aligote grape. Among Frances 11 vineyard regions Burgundy ranks 4th in acreage if you include the Beaujolais area, which the majority do despite their substantial differences. Well find out whether that lack of notoriousness is merited or not. These wines are on occasion a mix of Aligot and Chardonnay. If you're visiting Burgundy, and you actually should, make efforts to stop by the Cte dOr hamlet of Chteauneuf about 25 miles ( 40 kilometers ) southwest of Dijon in northerly 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 partner, Jacques dHaussonville. Dijon is famous for more than mustard and each year thousands of visitors head to the citys flower gardens which were set up in 1833. Set in the Jardin de LArquebuse, the gardens were made in a play to grow, study and protect plants and flowers from the area and all over the world.
