Sort Wine by Region
Chablis
The northernmost section of Burgundy is Chablis. No, Chablis is not a grape variety; it is a town where the Chardonnay grape produces quality wines with steely and mineral characteristics.
Champagne
Champagne may be the most well known region in all of France. Who doesn't like Champagne? Those bubbles certainly add an enjoyment and a festive atmosphere to any occasion.
Cote Chalonnaise
Cote Chalonnaise is probably the least well-known of the five regions in Burgundy. It produces some crisp Chardonnays as well as some fruity Pinot Noirs. Great values can be found in this "sleeper" region of Burgundy.
Cote de Beaune
Cote de Beaune is the southern part of the Cote d'Or. This is often referred to as Burgundy's wine capital because the town of Beaune is located here along with the headquarters of many of Burgundy's largest producers.
Cote de Nuits
Cote de Nuits is the northern part of the Cote d'Or. This is the home of such famous towns as Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey-Saint Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vougeot, Vosne-Romanee and Nuits-Saint-Georges.
Macon
Macon is Burgundy's largest wine-growing district. The Chardonnay grape in the Macon region yields fresh and fruity white wines.
Tokaj, Hungary
Along with the Sauterne wines, this region is famous for some of the best dessert wines in the world. One of the finest estates in Tokaj was purchased by a French company - a company that my French connections led me to.
