Best known in Burgundy, Oregon, New Zealand
The great red grape of Burgundy. Cherry, raspberry, earthy and floral notes, with silky tannins and fresh acidity. Notoriously hard to grow well, but capable of extraordinary elegance, and a key grape in Champagne and English sparkling wine.
France
The spiritual home of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Burgundy's genius is its obsession with place — every vineyard classified, every nuance of soil and slope mapped and celebrated. Wines of extraordinary elegance, often infuriating scarcity, and occasionally life-changing quality.
