The French Wine region of Burgundy (aka “Bourgogne”) may be small in size, but its influence is huge in the world of vino. The complexity of Burgundy can cast fear into the heart of even a seasoned wine pro, but fear not – the region need only be as complicated as you want it to be. Yes, it is home to some of the most expensive wines in the known universe, but there are also tasty and affordable wines.

Main grapes:

Pinot Noir originated in Burgundy and these vines cover 34% of the region, accounting for 29% of overall wine production. The red grape does extremely well in limestone and clay soil, which helps create their complexity. Pinot Noir wines from Burgundy range in colour from cherry to brick, are light in body, and typically have red fruit and spicy flavours. Gamay is a red grape also grown in Burgundy, but only makes up 10% of the vines.

Chardonnay is the primary grape for white wines in Burgundy, making up 48% of the vines and 68% of production. Chardonnay appreciates Burgundy’s marl soil, which gives it delicate floral, fruit, and mineral aromas and full-bodied flavours. Aligoté is the second white grape, accounting for 6% grown. {Read more about the ancient Aligoté grape in Burgundy.}

The region does produce a sparkling wine called Crémant de Bourgogne. It can be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Aligoté, Gamay, Sacy, and Melon. Varieties include blanc, blanc de blancs, blanc de noirs, and rosé.

Montrachet is one of the most prestigious and revered wine appellations in the world, located in the Burgundy region of France, specifically within the Côte de Beaune area. It straddles the villages of Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet. The appellation is exclusively devoted to white wines made from the Chardonnay grape.

The Montrachet vineyard is relatively small, covering approximately 8 hectares, but it produces wines that are considered the epitome of white Burgundy, commanding high prices and immense respect worldwide. The vineyard's location on a mid-slope with excellent exposure to the sun, coupled with a unique terroir characterized by a thin layer of soil over limestone, provides optimal conditions for growing Chardonnay grapes that express a remarkable intensity and complexity of flavors.

Montrachet wines are known for their extraordinary depth, power, and longevity. They typically display a rich bouquet of aromas, including almond, toast, butter, and honey, combined with a balanced acidity and a mineral backbone that reflects the limestone-rich soil. These wines are often described as having a perfect harmony between richness and elegance, with an ability to age gracefully for decades.

The wines from Montrachet are highly sought after by collectors and wine enthusiasts, and they are often considered benchmarks for quality in white winemaking. The prestige of Montrachet is such that its name is shared by several other neighboring Grand Cru vineyards that include "Montrachet" in their names, such as Bâtard-Montrachet, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet, and Chevalier-Montrachet, each producing wines with distinct but similarly high-quality profiles.
