Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – “The 2022 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Combes Vieilles Vignes was picked in three "tries"—that's to say, successive passages through the vineyard selecting only the ripest fruit. Revealing aromas of pear, toasted nuts, citrus zest, white flowers, beeswax and nutmeg, it's medium to full-bodied, with a satiny attack that segues into an elegantly fleshy palate built around racy acids and concluding with a long, saline finish.” - William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

Burgundy, located in the eastern part of France, is a tapestry of meticulously defined vineyards, each contributing to the region's esteemed reputation in the wine world. While it might be geographically compact, its influence is vast, with its wines often considered among the most coveted on the planet. At the heart of Burgundy lies the concept of 'terroir', an intricate blend of soil, topography, and climate, which gives each vineyard its unique character. This deep connection to the land results in wines that truly reflect where they come from, displaying nuanced differences even between neighboring vineyards. The region is predominantly known for two grape varieties: Pinot Noir for reds and Chardonnay for whites. The former yields wines that are celebrated for their elegance, aromatic depth, and age-worthiness. The latter produces whites ranging from steely and crisp to opulent and rich, often with a notable mineral undertone. Beyond the grapes and the terroir, Burgundy's legacy is also shaped by its centuries-old monastic traditions, with monks playing a pivotal role in delineating the vineyards and refining the art of winemaking. Today, this region stands as a testament to the symbiotic relationship between nature and human craftsmanship, creating wines that resonate with history, tradition, and unparalleled quality.
Burgundy wine is produced in the Burgundy region of France. It is made from Pinot Noir grapes for red wine and Chardonnay grapes for white wine. Burgundy wine is known for its complexity, elegance, and terroir-driven flavours. However, not all Burgundy is the same as the region covers diverse areas, each with unique climates and soils. Burgundy has five sub-regions, each with unique characteristics and wine styles. The region has its own quality pyramid, in which regional and communal wines are less expensive and often less complex than Premier and Grand Cru wines — those made with fruit from specific high-quality vineyards.
Burgundy’s Pinot Noir is the region’s most popular wine, but white wines from Chardonnay grapes are equally enjoyed. Some of the most famous Burgundy wines come from communes or areas known for their consistency and quality. They are labelled as Gevrey-Chambertin, Chablis, Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet, for example. These wines are valued for their complexity and offer distinct ways of enjoying the region’s grapes. These are amongst the best wines in the world and are highly sought after by wine enthusiasts and collectors. However, wines labelled as regional, such as those under the name Burgundy, are inexpensive and, although less complex, are equally pleasing.
There are several types of Burgundy wine, and, with rare exceptions, they are always made with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. This means that the kinds of wine in Burgundy are not classified for the grapes used, but for the place where these grapes grow. There are five sub-regions in Burgundy: Chablis, Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais. Each sub-region has unique characteristics and wine styles: Chablis is known for its tart Chardonnay, Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune are known together as the Côte d’Or — the source of the region’s most age-worthy whites and reds. Burgundy wine is also classified by quality, with Grand Cru being the highest quality and Premier Cru being the second-highest quality, followed by communal and regional wines.
The best Burgundy wines are highly subjective and depend on personal taste. However, some of the most highly regarded Burgundy wines include those made in the communes of the Côte d’Or: Gevrey-Chambertin, Marsannay, Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet, Morey-Saint-Denis and others. Grand Cru wines from Burgundy are also amongst the most rewarding. The southern regions in France have their quality-minded appellations as well, from which the white specialist Pouilly Fuissé stands out. Burgundy wines are often considered some of the best wines in the world. The best way to determine the best Burgundy wine for you is to try different wines and find the one that suits your taste preferences.
Burgundy might be simple to understand regarding grape varieties, but there are hundreds of named vineyards, each with its history and reputation. Like colours in a painter’s palette, Burgundy offers hundreds of different expressions of two of the most popular wine grapes, Pinot and Chardonnay. Exploring such distinct wines makes the region exciting — no Burgundy wine tastes the same.
