Burgundy

On April 29, 1930, the courts in Dijon, France, ruled that Burgundy wines may only be produced in the Bourgogne regions of Yonne, Côte-d’Or, and Saône-et-Loire; and also the Villefranche-sur-Saône area of the Rhône Valley.

Pinot noir, Gamay, Chardonnay and Aligoté are the four major grape varieties in Burgundy. Sauvignon grapes make for the light, fruity flavors of wines such as Saint-Bris. Some claim Irancy red wines have greater longevity because they include the juice from César grapes.

The New York Times lists Burgundy resources. The Burgundy regions are famous for many items other than wines. I have lost count of how many times I have crossed the bridges on the Rhône, but I have much more often returned with bags filled with the famous chocolates than with wine.

My friends in the Burgundy regions enjoy fine food and a relaxed lifestyle. UCLA researchers have noted "the 'French paradox' — a society that, despite consuming food high in cholesterol and saturated fats, has long had low death rates from heart disease."
