Burgundy (Bourgogne)
The spiritual home of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, where a few metres of terroir separate village wine from Grand Cru.
Côte de Nuits Pinot is red-fruited and savoury; Côte de Beaune Chardonnay (Meursault, Puligny) is the global template for oak-aged white — hazelnut, citrus and struck flint.
Style: Ethereal, terroir-transparent reds; taut, mineral whites.
