What makes white wines from Burgundy so special?
Burgundy is the birthplace of the Chardonnay grape, which finds its best expression in the region. The unique terroir, consisting of calcareous soils, a temperate climate and centuries-old winemaking traditions, ensures that the region's wines have a perfect balance between freshness, ripe fruit and minerality.
Key regions for white wines in Burgundy:

- Côte de Beaune: The Côte de Beaune produces some of the best Chardonnay wines in the world, with icons such as Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. These wines are rich, full-bodied and powerful, with a perfect balance between fruitiness and complex aromas of nuts and butter.
- Mâconnais: The Mâconnais region , with appellations such as Pouilly-Fuissé and Saint-Véran, offers accessible and fruity Chardonnay wines, offering both fresh acidity and ripe fruit.
