Burgundy
Burgundy is a historical region in east-central France. It's famous for its Burgundy wines as well as pinot noirs and Chardonnay, Chablis and Beaujolais. The area is crisscrossed by a network of canals and studded with grand châteaux, some now luxury hotels. The capital, Dijon, of mustard fame, is home to the imposing Palace of the Dukes, where the distinguished Musée des Beaux-Arts was established in 1787. Norman abbeys, Châteaux with glazed rooves, ducal towns and charming villages make Burgundy a historic region with a glorious heritage.
The landscapes of the winegrowing areas are as varied as the wines to which they give birth. Among the many “wine roads” running through Burgundy: the Route des grands crus and many an authentic little wine village along the way; you enter the kingdom of the famous Bourgogne wine.
