The Burgundy wine region stretches from Chablis in the north to the Mâconnais in the south, encompassing the Côte de Nuits, the Côte de Beaune, the Côte Chalonnaise, and the Mâconnais. Its history dates back to the Gallo-Roman era and was profoundly influenced by the Cistercian and Benedictine monks who delineated the best vineyard sites as early as the Middle Ages. The classification of appellations into regional , communal (or village) , Premier Cru , and Grand Cru provides a meticulously structured framework for this wine region.
Wines sold under the Bourgogne appellation can come from anywhere in the Burgundy wine region. They are often approachable wines, showcasing the defining characteristics of Burgundy grape varieties: the finesse and fruitiness of Pinot Noir, and the mineral purity and freshness of Chardonnay. In addition, there are white wines made from Aligoté, Crémant de Bourgogne, and a few rosés. When well-made, these wines already express the refinement characteristic of the region.
A red Burgundy pairs wonderfully with roast poultry, roast veal, game terrine, or mushrooms. A white Burgundy is a perfect accompaniment to grilled fish, white meat in sauce, seafood salad, or goat cheese. Crémants, on the other hand, are perfect as an aperitif or with light dishes.
Les Vins de Carole offers a carefully curated selection of Burgundy wines: fruity reds, soft and balanced whites, elegant rosés, and festive Crémants. These wines represent the quality of Burgundy and are perfect for beginning an in-depth exploration of this legendary wine region.
