Burgundy

The pedoclimatic conditions of Burgundy, combined with the special savoir-faire of the vigneron, due to centuries of high-quality agronomic practices, result in a unique terroir. The care and specificity extend in this region to the definition of "climat," recognized by UNESCO. More selective than terroir, it refers to a single vineyard with specific characteristics of soil, climate, exposure, and cultivation methods.

The vineyards of Burgundy stretch for about 250 km from Chablis in the north to the Mâconnais, bordering the Rhône Valley, in the south.

The climate of Burgundy is predominantly continental, with slight maritime influences in the western area and Mediterranean influences in the southernmost part. Winters are cold, with fairly frequent frosts, sometimes even in spring; rainfall is minimal during the vine's budding period but intense between May and June, which can compromise flowering and thus the harvest.

The soil of Burgundy is formed from marine sedimentations mixed with limestone, marl, and clay, with limestone prevailing in the Côte d'Or, from Dijon to Chagny.

Beaujolais

Beaujolais is the southernmost wine area of Burgundy, completely distinct from the others: its climate is more similar to that of the Rhône Valley, and the wine is so unique that it is considered independently from both Burgundy and Côtes du Rhône. The wines and grape varieties differ: this is the home of Gamay and Beaujolais Nouveau, the young wine that has become so famous it has overshadowed other, much more important wines from this area. In Beaujolais, we find almost exclusively red wines, except for a small production of whites from Chardonnay and Aligoté.

The region has 12 designations, with 10 Crus. In Beaujolais, the wines can have three mentions of increasing quality: Beaujolais, Beaujolais-Villages, and Beaujolais Cru, a term that here is not used for specific vineyards but to indicate one of the ten best villages in the area: Brouilly, Chénas, Chiroubles, Côte de Brouilly, Fleurie, Juliénas, Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Régnié, and Saint-Amour.
