Burgundy is a long, thin vineyard that extends from Chablis in the north to Maconnais and Beaujolais in the south. The most famous area - or its most important is the center of Kuwait, which in turn includes the Côte de Nuits - known for its red color made from Pinot Noir; and Côte de Beaune (the capital of the region is the beautiful Beaune church city) - known for white people made from Chardonnay.

Burgundy is the second most prominent region in France for red wines after Bordeaux, although the wine made from Pinot Noir is very different. They are less tannic, more acidic and more delicate - but can still fill mouths, spirits - some commentators talk about the "iron fist in velvet gloves". Pinot is a hard-to-handle grape, and almost nothing in the world comes close to the Côte de Nuits, except perhaps some labels from Oregon (USA) and New Zealand.
Burgundian Chardonnays are almost incomparable to white wines in France, despite being heavily copied by New World producing countries. At their best, they have a plump body, showing a balance between acidity and persistent taste. The list also includes wines from the northern district of Chablis - lean wines, derived from minerals with racy acidity.

In the southernmost part of Burgundy is Maconnais, which also produces some lovely Chardonnay and some wines made from another Aligote white grape; and Beaujolais - where lively young wines are made from fresh Gamay grapes and fruits.
Also important in this district is Sauternes - globally famous for its sweet white wines at very high prices. A similar blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, the best wines produced when, at the time of optimum ripeness, grapes are affected by botrytis ("noble rotten"). This fungus causes grapes to shrink and lose moisture, serving to concentrate the sugar content, while developing flavors and flavors.
