Burgundy

Burgundy region of France enfolds the valleys and slopes west of the Saône River, a tributary of the Rhône. The most famous wines produced here are those commonly referred to as "Burgundies" where the red wines are made from the Pinot Noir grape and the white wines are made from the Chardonnay grape.
Red and white wines can also made from other grape varieties such as Gamay and Aligoté respectively with a
small amounts of rosé and sparkling wine also produced in the region.
However, Chardonnay-dominated Chablis and Gamay-dominated Beaujolais are formally part of the Burgundy wine region, but wines from those sub-regions are usually referred to by their own names rather than as "Burgundy wines".
Burgundy has a higher number of Appellations d' Origine Contrôlée (AOCs) than any other French region, and is often seen as the most terroir-conscious of the French wine regions.
