France

Burgundy

Burgundy is the spiritual home of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay — a narrow strip of eastern France where terroir is everything. The Côte d'Or runs 30 miles and contains some of the world's most coveted and scrutinised vineyard land.

Climate

Continental, with cold winters and warm summers. Harvest timing is critical.

Featured wines from Burgundy

Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes

Domaine Rossignol-Trapet · 2019 · Pinot Noir

Luminous ruby with a garnet core. The aromatics are classic Gevrey — ripe black cherry and kirsch underpinned by subtle earth, dried rose petals, and a hint of game. The palate is medium-full with fine-grained tannins and beautiful concentration from old-vine material. The 2019 warmth gives generous fruit without sacrificing the village's characteristic structure.
