France
Few would argue that France is the country that long ago set the standards by which wine is judged. There are of course exceptions; Germany's Rieslings, Spain's Sherry and Portugal's Port are examples of non-French wines that are universally accepted as models to be admired and emulated. But no other country in the world can boast anything like France's influence over the wine world's now well-established benchmarks. The wine styles produced in Champagne, Alsace, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Loire and the Rhone have become targets that countless winegrowers around the world aim at, in the first instance by planting the same grape varieties. If you still have a bit of exploring to do before you can say you know well the world of wine, there can be no better place to start (or finish!) than France.
Burgundy
Bourgogne (Burgundy) is at the crossroads of Mediterranean influences to the south, continental influences to the north, and oceanic influences to the west. This geographic situation gives Bourgogne wines a unique identity and makes it the best choice for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grape varieties...
Bourgogne wines are usually made up from one single grape, giving them great purity in their expression. Bourgogne remains a key point of reference for the production of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with an authentic personality. Some Bourgogne wines are made from others grape varieties: Gamay and Aligoté...
The aromatic expression of Bourgogne wines, which is the result of the exceptional chemistry between the terroirs, the grapes and the know-how of the growers, is incomparable and cannot be imitated. Bourgogne wines, whether they are red or white, are distinguishable by the extraordinary delicacy and elegance of their aromas, focusing on the subtlety rather than their powerfulness.
