Borgogna

The Bourgogne AOC appellation is one of the most famous in the world. The Burgundy region is located in the central-eastern part of France and extends from Auxerre to Mâcon, on a total area of over 27,000 hectares. The Appellation Bourgogne AOC territory comprises 5 distinct areas: Chablis and Yonne, Côte-de-Nuits, Côte-de-Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise and Mâconnais. A very large area, which has very different climatic configurations. Just think that between the two extreme points of Chablis and Mâconnais there are about 200 kilometers away. The soils are generally of clay-limestone composition, which varies in percentages and characteristics from area to area.

The grapes mainly grown in Burgundy are chardonnay and pinot noir. However, there are also aligoté, gamay and in smaller percentages pinot gris, sauvignon blanc, melon de Bourgogne, sacy and césar. The large Burgundy vineyard is characterized by a subdivision into very small parcels, often less than one hectare, which are the result of a centuries-old zoning of the territory, which has focused on enhancing the specific characteristics of each individual terroir.

All the tesserae of this large Burgundy mosaic produce around 200 million bottles annually and the appellation Bourgogne AOC is still synonymous with tradition, quality and excellence throughout the world.
