History
The Burgundians were one of the Germanic peoples who
filled the power vacuum left by the collapse of the
western half of the
Roman empire. In 411, they crossed the
Rhine and established a kingdom at Worms. Amidst
repeated clashes between the Romans and Huns, the
Burgundian kingdom eventually occupied what is today
the borderlands between Switzerland, France, and
Italy. In 534, the Franks defeated Godomar, the last
Burgundian king, and absorbed the territory into
their growing empire.
Its modern existence is rooted in the dissolution of
the Frankish empire. When the dynastic dust had
settled in 880s, there were three Burgundies: the
kingdom of Upper Burgundy around Lake Geneva, the
kingdom of Lower Burgundy in Provence, and the duchy
of Burgundy in France. The two kingdoms of Burgundy
were reunited in 937 and absorbed into the Holy
Roman Empire under Conrad II in 1032, while the
duchy of Burgundy was annexed by the French throne
in 1004.
During the Middle Ages, Burgundy was the seat of
some of the most important Western churches and
monasteries, among them Cluny, Citeaux, and Vézelay.
During the Hundred Years' War, King Jean II of
France
gave the duchy to his younger son, rather than
leaving it to his successor on the throne. The duchy
soon became a major rival to the French throne,
because the Dukes of Burgundy succeeded in
assembling an empire stretching from Switzerland to
the North Sea, mostly by marriage. The Burgundian
Empire consisted of a number of fiefdoms on both
sides of the (then largely symbolical) border
between the French kingdom and the German Empire.
Its economic heartland was in the
Low Countries,
particularly Flanders and Brabant. The court in
Dijon outshone the French court by far both
economically and culturally.
In
the late 15th and early 16th centuries,
Burgundy
provided a power base for the rise of the Habsburgs,
after Maximilian of Austria had married into the
ducal family. In 1477 the last duke Charles the Bold
was killed in battle and Burgundy itself taken back
by France. His daughter Mary and her husband
Maximillian moved the court to Brussels and ruled
the remnants of the empire (the Low Countries and
Franche-Comté, then still a German fief) from there.
Wine
Burgundy produces famous wines of the same name. The
best-known wines come from the Côte d'Or, although
also viticulturally part of
Burgundy
are Beaujolais, Chablis, and Mâcon.
Geography
Highest point: Haut-Folin (901m) in the Morvan.
The Canal of Burgundy joins the Rivers Yonne and
Saône, allowing barges to navigate from the north to
south of France. Construction began in 1765 and was
completed in 1832. At the summit there is a tunnel
3.333 kilometers long in a straight line. The canal
is 242 kilometers long, with a total 209 locks and
crosses two counties of
Burgundy,
the Yonne and Cote d'Or. The canal is now mostly
used for riverboat tourism;
Dijon,
the most important city along the canal, has a
harbor for leisure boats.
Culture
Famous Burgundian dishes include coq au vin and beef
bourguignon.
Burgundy
wine
Chardonnay vineyards in the south of the Côte de
Beaune surrounding the town of Meursault.
Burgundy (Bourgogne in French) is the name given to
certain wines made in the
Burgundy region of
France.
Red Burgundy wines are usually made with the Pinot
Noir grape, and white
Burgundy wines are usually made with Chardonnay grapes, as
dictated by the AOC. Geographically, the wine region
starts just south of
Dijon and runs southward to just short of the city
of
Lyon.
The area of Chablis stands on its own to the west of
Dijon,
about as close to Paris as it is to the heart of
Burgundy. The main wine regions in Burgundy proper
(those that are entitled to the AOC Bourgogne
designation) are the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune -
which collectively are known as the Côte d'Or - and
further south the Côte Chalonnaise. Also
viticulturally part of Burgundy are Beaujolais,
Chablis, and Mâcon, and they show some similarity.
However, a wine from one of these regions would
rarely be referred to as a "Burgundy."
Burgundy is home to some of the most sought-after
wines in the world, and the most expensive,
including those of Domaine de la Romanée Conti.
Burgundy is in some ways the most terroir-oriented
region on the planet; immense attention is paid to
the area of origin, and in which of the region's 400
types of soil a wine's grapes are grown. It has a
carefully demarcated quality hierarchy: the grand
crus are at the top, followed by premier crus, then
village, and finally generic Bourgogne. Bourgogne is
where grapes other than Chardonnay and Pinot Noir
begin to be introduced, allowing pinot blanc and
Pinot Gris, two Pinot Noir mutations that were
traditionally grown and now are in decline in the
area. Other Burgundy AOCs that are not as often seen
are Bourgogne Passetoutgrains (which can contain up
to two thirds Gamay (the grape of Beaujolais) in
addition to Pinot Noir), Bourgogne Aligoté (which is
primarily made with the Aligoté grape), and
Bourgogne Grand Ordinaire. The latter is the lowest
AOC, and Grand definitely refers to the size of the
area eligible to produce it, not its quality. There
are certain regions that are allowed to put other
grapes in miscellaneous AOCs, but for the most part
these rules hold.
From about the year 900 up to the French Revolution,
the vineyards of Burgundy were owned by the Church.
After the revolution, the vineyards were broken up
and sold to the workers who had tended them. The
Napoleonic inheritance laws resulted in the
continued subdivision of the most precious vineyard
holdings, so that some growers hold only a row or
two of vines. This led to the emergence of
négociants who aggregate the produce of many growers
to produce a single wine. It has also led to a
profusion of increasingly small family-owned
wineries, exemplified by the dozen plus "Gros"
family domaines.

Location
Côte-d'Or is a département in the eastern part of
France.
*
History
the French Revolution on March 4, 1790. It was
formed from part of Côte-d'Or was one of the
original 83 départements created during the former
province of Burgundy.
Geography
The département is part of the current région of
Bourgogne. It is surrounded by the départements of
Yonne, Nièvre, Saône-et-Loire, Jura, Aube, and
Haute-Marne.
A
chain of hills called the Plateau de Langres runs
from north-east to south-west through the
département to the north of Dijon and continues
south-westwards as the Côte d'Or escarpment, after
which the département is named. It is the south-east
facing slope of the escarpment which is the site of
the celebrated Burgundy vineyards. To the west of
the Plateau de Langres, towards Champagne, lies the
densely wooded district of Châtillonais. To the
south-east of the plateau and escarpment, the
département lies in the broad, flat-bottomed valley
of the middle course of the Saône.
Rivers include:
*
The Saône
*
The Seine rises in he southern end of the Plateau de
Langres.
*
The Ouche rises on the dip slope of the escarpment
and flows to the Saône via Dijon.
*
The Armançon rises on the dip slope of the
escarpment and flows north-westward.
*
The Arroux rises on the dip slope of the escarpment
at the southern end of the département.
Climate
The climate of the département is temperate, with
abundant rain on the west side of the central range.
Beaujolais
Beaujolais is a historical province and a
wine-producing region in France. It is now part of
the Burgundy région for administrative purposes. The
region is known internationally for its long
tradition of winemaking, and more recently for the
enormously popular Beaujolais nouveau.
Beaujolais wines
The Beaujolais is a French AOC wine, almost all
Beaujolais wines are reds of the Gamay grape but
like most AOC wines are not labelled varietally.
Whites from the region, which make up only 1% of its
production, are made with Chardonnay grapes.
Beaujolais tends to be a very light bodied red wine,
with relatively high amounts of acidity which makes
it less a casual sipping wine and one more suited to
food.
Most Beaujolais should be drunk within the first
three years of its life. Only the best examples of
the ten "crus" listed below - and produced by the
best vintners - improve with age for up to ten
years.
Wines labeled simply "Beaujolais" account for 50% of
the production. Beaujolais Villages makes up 25% of
the region's production, and comes from better
vineyard sites in and around the ten "crus" in the
north part of Beaujolais. Wine from these individual
crus, which make up the balance, can be more
full-bodied, darker in color, and significantly
longer lived. Unfortunately for the unknowing wine
drinker, these wines do not usually use the word
"Beaujolais" on the label, leaving one with little
recourse but to memorize the list. The ten crus are:
Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Brouilly, Côte de Brouilly,
Saint-Amour, Chiroubles, Chénas, Fleurie, Juliénas,
and most recently, Régnié.
By
far, the largest production comes from the négoçiant
Georges Duboeuf, who makes the well-known "flower
labels".
Economy
This is a premier wine-growing region of France.
Other crops include cereal grains and potatoes.
Sheep and cattle are also raised in the département.
The region is famous for its Dijon mustard.
There are coal mines and heavy industry, including
steel, machinery, and earthenware. The industries
most developed in Côte-d'Or are
*
agriculture and food (14% of employees)
*
metallurgy and metal manufacture (12% of employees)
*
chemicals, rubber and plastics (12% of employees)
*
pharmacy
*
electrical and electronic components and equipment
*
wood and paper industries.
The big works are generally in the conurbation of
Dijon although biggest (CEA Valduc) is at Salives in
the Plateau de Langres. There is also the SEB metal
works at Selongey below the plateau on the margin of
the Saône plain and the Valourec metalworking group
at Montbard in the west of the départment on the
River Brenne near its junction with the Armançon.
The Pharmaceutical industry has shown the greatest
growth in recent years. However, since the Dijon
employment statistics zone includes the urban and
administrative centre of the Burgundy region, the
service sector is proportionately bigger there in
relation to the industrial, than in the other three
zones of Côte-d'Or.
Demographics
The inhabitants of the département are called Côte-d'Oriens.
Tourism
Some of the major tourist attractions are the Gothic
abbey church of Saint-Seine-l'Abbaye and the
Romanesque abbey church at Saulieu, as well the
Château de Bussy Rabutin at Bussy-le-Grand. The
Abbey of Cîteaux, headquarters of the Cistercian
Order, lies to the east of Nuits-Saint-Georges in
the south of the département.

Coq au vin
The coq au vin ("cock with wine") is a French stew
of chicken (theoretically, rooster) cooked with
wine.
Many French regions claim coq au vin as their own,
but legend has it that the recipe originated with
Caesar's chef. Different variants exist throughout
the country.
Nearly all recipes other than those altered for
low-fat diets start with lardons, or their more
available substitutes, unsmoked bacon or pancetta.
The lardons are cooked, and the rendered fat used
for browning the other ingredients, and (with the
addition of the flour) to form the roux which
thickens the sauce. Generally, a full bottle of red
wine is used, and brandy may be added.
More traditional versions of coq au vin have the
sauce thickened with rooster blood at the end of
cooking.
Beef Bourguignon
Beef Bourguignon (Bœuf Bourguignon in French) is
very well-known, traditional French recipe. It is
essentially a type of beef stew prepared with cubed
pieces of beef stewed in red wine and generally
flavoured with garlic, onions, salt pork, and a
bouquet garni, and garnished with pearl onions and
mushrooms.
Côte de Nuits
The Côte d'Or is divided into two main viticultural
regions, the Côte de Nuits being the more northerly
of the two. The northernmost tip lies just south of
Dijon, and the region extends down to the Côte de
Beaune, onto which it abuts. Named after the town of
Nuits-St-Georges, it is most widely reknowned for
it's red wines, although there are a few worthy
white wines made here also. Geologically, the region
sits on a combination of Bajocian, Bathonian,
Callovian and Argovian limestones, with some Liassic
marlstone. The climate is continental, with a wide
annual temperature difference. Spring rains and
frost can be a problem, as can Autumn rain, which
may interfere with the harvest. This is true for the
whole Côte d'Or. The vineyards lie on the slope
between the plain to the east, and the hills to the
west. Soils on the plain, to the east of the N74
(not illustrated), are too fertile for quality wine,
and on the hills it is too sparse. The easterly
aspect also aids exposure to the sun.
The most northerly village of note is Marsannay, an
up and coming wine region for the production of
value Burgundy. Next is Fixin, a village which can
produce some good value wines, although they never
achieve greatness.
Further south come the villages of the Côte de Nuits
that produce some of the great wines of Burgundy.
Firstly, Gevrey-Chambertin, which impresses with the
combination of its muscular, weighty attitude and
paradoxical perfumed edge. Morey-St-Denis is a
meaty, intense wine which can be superb, but like
many of these famous names overcropping and poor
vinification techniques can result in some very weak
wines. Chambolle-Musigny may be marked by a
wonderful, floral, fragrant bouquet, whereas at
Vougeot we have an unusual situation. Much of the
wine is classified as Grand Cru as it lies within
the walled vineyard of the Clos de Vougeot, but only
a small part of this wine is truly of Grand Cru
quality. At best it can be a tasty, full-bodied,
richly fruited wine, although it is not one of the
great Grands Crus.
Flagey-Echézeaux is unusual as it lies to the east
of all the other vineyards. The wines can be quite
fine. Next is Vosne-Romaneé, a fine set of vineyards
which can produce some superb wines. Vosne-Romaneé
can have a rich, creamy, sensuous texture, even in
the village wines from a good producer. Other than
Nuits-St-Georges, there are no other villages of
huge significance.
The appellations of the Côte de Nuits are as
follows:
Grands Crus: Such wines are not required to bear the
village name. Thus wines produced, for example, from
the Grand Cru Chambertin Clos de Bèze would not
include the village name of Gevrey-Chambertin, where
it is situated. These are as follows:
Gevrey-Chambertin: Chambertin, Chambertin Clos de
Bèze, Charmes-Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin,
Griotte- Chambertin, Latricières-Chambertin,
Mazis-Chambertin, Ruchottes-Chambertin.
Morey-St-Denis: Bonnes Mares, Clos Saint-Denis, Clos
de Tart, Clos de la Roche, Clos des Lambrays.
Chambolle-Musigny: Musigny, Bonnes Mares.
Vougeot: Clos de Vougeot.
Vosne-Romanée: La Romanée, La Tâche, Richebourg,
Romanée-Conti, Romanée-St-Vivant, La Grande Rue.
Flagey-Echézeaux: Grands-Echézeaux, Echézeaux.
The Grand Cru Bonnes Mares straddles the villages of
Morey-St-Denis and Chambole-Musigny. Nuits-St-Georges
has no Grands Crus.
Premiers Crus: These are too numerous to name here.
As with Chablis, a wine blended from several such
sites will be labelled as Premier Cru, whereas a
wine from an individual vineyard will bear the
vineyard name, eg. Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru
Clos Saint-Jacques.
Village Wines: The villages of the Côte de Nuits are
Marsannay (La-Côte), Fixin, Gevrey-Chambertin,
Morey-St-Denis, Chambolle Musigny, Vougeot (although
anything other than Grand Cru Clos de Vougeot is
rare), Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-St-Georges. Village
wines from Flagey-Echézeaux are sold under the
Vosne-Romanée appellation.
Sub-Village Appellations: These include Côte de
Nuits Villages (may be applied to wine from
Corgoloin, Comblanchien, Prémeaux, Brochon, and
declassified wine from Fixin), Bourgogne Hautes
Côtes de Nuits (applies to a large number of
communes to the west of the Côte d'Or), and basic
Bourgogne.
Côte de Beaune
The Côte de Beaune is the more southerly part of the
Côte d'Or. The northernmost tip abuts onto the Côte
de Nuits, and the region extends south to the Côte
Chalonnaise. The geology is more variable than that
of the Côte de Nuits. The region sits on a
combination of Callovian, Argovian and Rauracian
limestones, with much intervening marlstone.
Obviously, the climate is the same as for the Côte
de Nuits - continental, with a wide annual
temperature difference. Spring rains and frost, and
Autumn rains, which may interfere with the harvest,
can also be a problem here. The vineyards face
south-east on the slope between the plain to the
south-east, and the hills to the north-west, the
easterly aspect aiding exposure to the sun.
Pernand-Vergelesses can be a source of some good
value Burgundy, but no great wines. Nearby, however,
we start to see some of the more serious wines of
the Côte de Beaune at Aloxe-Corton. The wines of
this village, as well as a number of other villages
nearby, are red as well as white. Red Corton should
be a muscular, savoury wine, whereas the white is a
rich, intense, buttery drink. Beaune,
Savigny-les-Beaune and Chorey-les-Beaune are all
best known for their red wines. The wines produced
here are well fruited, tasty, sometimes quite
elegant affairs, although they are somewhat lighter
(and less expensive) when from the latter two
villages.
Pommard can make wonderful red Burgundy, well
structured and meaty, whereas Volnay is better known
for it's heady, perfumed and delicately textured
wines.
Towards the southern end of the Côte de Beaune,
however, are the Côte d'Or's most famous white wine
villages. Meursault produces rich, complex, intense
yet elegant wines, but it is Puligny-Montrachet and
Chassagne-Montrachet that lead the pack. The former
bears a wonderful combination of richness with
mineral complexities, the latter are sometimes
broader and more open, although both are lovely, and
words cannot really do them justice. Nearby are the
villages of St-Romain, St-Aubin, Santenay and
Auxey-Duresses. All are responsible for some value
Burgundy.
The appellations of the Côte de Beaune are as
follows:
Grands Crus: As with the Côte de Nuits, such wines
are not required to bear the village name. The
Grands Crus are as follows:
Aloxe-Corton: Corton (the largest Grand Cru in
Burgundy, with a number of subdivisions, eg
Corton-Bressandes), Corton-Charlemagne.
Puligny-Montrachet: Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet,
Chevalier-Montrachet, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet.
Chassagne-Montrachet: Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet,
Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet.
As
with the Côtes de Nuits, some vineyards lie in more
than one village. Here, the Grands Crus Montrachet
and Bâtard-Montrachet lie in both Puligny and
Chassagne-Montrachet. Most villages of the Côte de
Beaune have no Grands Crus.
Premiers Crus: As with the Côtes de Nuits, these are
too numerous to name. As with Chablis and the Côtes
de Nuits, a wine blended from several such sites
will be labelled as Premier Cru, whereas a wine from
an individual vineyard will bear the vineyard name,
eg Pommard Premier Cru Les Petits Epenots.
Village Wines: The villages of the Côte de Beaune
are Ladoix, Pernand-Vergelesses, Aloxe-Corton,
Savigny-lès-Beaune, Chorey-lès-Beaune, Beaune,
Pommard, Volnay, Monthelie, St-Romain,
Auxey-Duresses, Meursault, Blagny,
Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, St-Aubin
and Santenay. Blagny is a small hamlet close to the
Premier Cru vineyards of Meursault.
Sub-Village Appellations: These include Côte de
Beaune Villages (may be applied to declassified wine
from fourteen villages of the Côte de Beaune not
including Aloxe-Corton, Beaune, Volnay or Pommard),
Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits (applies to a large
number of communes to the west of the Côte d'Or),
and basic Bourgogne. There is also the confusing
appellation Côte de Beaune, which refers to wines
from the commune of Beaune not deemed worthy of the
appellation Beaune.
The Côte d'Or - My top wines. As many producers have
vineyards in so many different sites, I have grouped
together the good names in Burgundy here. This is a
personal list (in alphabetical order), so it doesn't
include great but hardly affordable domaines such as
Romanée-Conti.
My list of top estates and producers includes
Domaine d'Arlot, Simon Bize, Robert Chevillon, Bruno
Clair, Michel Colin-Deléger, Drouhin, René Engel,
Faiveley, Jacques Gagnard-Delagrange, Jean-Marc
Blain-Gagnard, Richard Fontaine-Gagnard, Jean
Grivot, Hudelot-Noëllat, Jadot, Jaffelin, Henri
Jayer, Leroy, Méo-Camuzet, Albert Morot, Daniel
Rion, Domaine des Perdrix, and Etienne Sauzet.
There are, obviously, many, many more producers of
interest, but there are simply too many to include
here.
