Burgundy
The illustrious wine region of Burgundy, home of the world's greatest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, can be confusing for even experienced wine buffs. Spanning 26,000 hectares of vineyards and over 3,000 individual producers across nearly 100 different appellations, unlocking the mysteries of Burgundy for your drinking enjoyment can require a sense of adventure, but getting to know a few villages and their style is a good way to start the journey. Burgundy is broken into six distinct areas. Just south of Dijon, the Cote de Beaune and Cote de Nuits make up the larger Cote d'Or, considered the beating heart of Burgundian production and the focus of the fine wine world. Vineyards are divided into tiny parcels, and some growers may only own a row or less of vines in the most esteemed sites. Chablis, in the north, is famous for its crisp whites, while south of the Cote d'Or Cote Chalonnaise and Maconnais offer great value. Propping up the Burgundy map is the large region of Beaujolais, the place to uncover juicy, fruity, unoaked Gamay wines. For our Fine Wine Burgundy selection go to Fine Wine where you can choose from a top wine selection from the renowned villages of Puligny Montrachet, Meursault, Nuit St Georges, Gevrey Chambertin, and many more top Burgundian appellations.

Cote Maconnais
Cote Maconnais
Cote Maconnais
South of the Cote d'Or and Cote Chalonnais wine regions of Burgundy, the Maconnais is a broad pastoral area with a long history of wine production. The region takes its name from the town of Macon, which has been a major crossroads since ancient times, with grape cultivation undertaken by the Celts and Romans. Like the regions further north the Maconnais relies on limestone soils to provide purity and clarity to its wines, and the region has vineyards scattered across its rolling hillsides. Chardonnay is the most widely cultivated grape in Maconnais, with the remaining production given to red wines made from the red grape Gamay, and Pinot Noir. Wines from the regional appellations can be very simple, but the quality is improving. There are 43 village appellations in Maconnais, and seeking wines with a Macon-Villages title on the label will add some quality insurance. The well-known appellations of Saint-Veran, Pouilly-Fuisse, Pouilly-Loche and Pouilly-Vinzelles provide a source of top quality, good value wines.

Appellation
Saint-Veran
Saint-Veran
Saint-Veran
Overlapping the northern border of Beaujolais and split into two distinct sections by Pouilly-Fuisse, Saint-Veran is a unique appellation of the Maconnais region of Burgundy. Saint-Veran labels are exclusive for white wines made from Chardonnay, but some villages within the appellation may produce wines from two appellations. The village of Saint-Amour on the appellation's southern edge makes white wines labelled Saint-Veran, and red Gamay wines labelled Beaujolais Cru. The moderate continental climate, with long warm summers and cool nights, creates a long ripening season and develops deep flavours within the grapes. The free-draining limestone-clay soils so famous throughout Burgundy are also present in Saint-Veran and peach, pear, honeysuckle, spice and almond are the wines typical characteristics. Saint-Veran Chardonnay also develops a toasty, honeyed note after as it matures in the cellar.

Chardonnay
Produced in wine regions across the world, Chardonnay is a white wine producing grape, and is made in many different styles. From the lean, crisp wines of Chablis, to the exceptional dry Blancs de Blancs of Champagne and the buttery, rich, oaky wines of the warmer regions of California, Chardonnay wines exhibit a full spectrum of flavours and styles. As a fairly neutral grape, it is the land, soil, location, climate and winemaker that have the biggest impact on this famous grape.
