Our Burgundy wines come from a winemaker that has chosen to produce three
distinctive wines corresponding to the appellations Côte de Beaune Villages
Red, Côte de Nuits Villages Red, Mâcon Villages White.
Each of these wines is obtained by the blending of the best selection of "cuvees"
that come from the reputed villages associated within these appellations.
The aim is to obtain the best balance between the tannins, alcohol and fruit
with minimum intervention, and to preserve the "terroir" quality
of these magnificent wines. The result: Burgundy wines of an excellent quality
at an affordable price.
Burgundy (Bourgogne) is a region located in east central France. It is one
of the most terroir-oriented regions in France, beginning 100 kilometers south
of Paris and spreading down to Lyon. The region's core is the fertile Rhone
and Saone river valleys. Burgundy's wines are among the world's most distinguished.
With 400 different different types of soil, the region has a quality heirarchy
defined by location, including Chablis, Côte d'Or (Côte de Nuits,
Côte de Beaune), Côte Chalonnaise, Mâconnais and Beaujolais.
Red Burgundy wines are usually made with the Pinot Noir grape, and white Burgundies
with Chardonnay grapes as dictated by the AOC, while Beaujolais uses the Gamay
grape.
