Bourgogne

Bourgogne is the regional AOC covering all of Burgundy in eastern France, encompassing wines that can be made from grapes grown anywhere in the region. The terroir varies across the region, but generally features limestone and clay soils with a continental climate of cold winters and warm summers. Pinot Noir dominates red wine production, while Chardonnay is the primary white grape, with Aligoté and Gamay also permitted, producing wines that range from simple, approachable regional blends to more complex expressions.
