\"burdundy\"<\/a>Burgundy is a wine as well as a place. In fact, it is many wines and many distinct locales, all of which were once part of the ancient duchy of Burgundy. Situated several hundred kilometers southwest of Paris, Burgundy is hallowed ground to serious lovers of the vine. From its golden hillsides, whose center slopes are so aptly named the C\u00f4te d\u2019Or, flow France\u2019s most expensive and profound wines. Names such as Roman\u00e9e Conti, Chambertin, Clos de Vougeot, and Le Montrachet, among others, have been delighting serious wine aficionados for centuries. Yet, there is much more to Burgundy and its wines than a few illustrious names. For starters, Burgundy is the ancestral of home of two of the world\u2019s most revered grape varieties \u2013 Pinot Noir and Chardonnay<\/p>\n

Clearly, Burgundy is much more than a single wine or one great vineyard: it is a special place, a land almost entirely devoted to wine in one fashion or another. However, what remains surprising to many wine drinkers is that Burgundy is both red and white wine, the best of which come exclusively from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, respectively. With a growing number of exceptions, the finest Burgundies emanate from the region\u2019s hallowed core, the C\u00f4te d\u2019Or, which begins on the fabled C\u00f4te de Nuits, just to the south of Dijon, and flows all the way south to Santenay at the tip of the C\u00f4te de Beaune. The Premier and Grand Cru wines from these illustrious hillsides are worth their weight in gold, but increasingly the wines from the gentle slopes outside the privileged climats<\/em> are creating the most attention and providing great drinking pleasure, including those on the C\u00f4te Chalonnaise and in the M\u00e2connais south of the C\u00f4te d\u2019Or \u2013 all Burgundy and increasingly worth their weight in gold.
