Burgundy Wines

Burgundy is the most philosophically demanding wine region in the world — a place where the concept of terroir was invented, where a single slope can be divided into dozens of named plots, where the difference between a Premier Cru and a Grand Cru can be a matter of metres, and where the same grape (Chardonnay for white, Pinot Noir for red) produces wines of extraordinary diversity based solely on the specific soil and aspect of each vineyard. The Côte d'Or runs from Dijon to Chagny: the Côte de Nuits in the north (Gevrey-Chambertin, Vosne-Romanée, Chambolle-Musigny) for Pinot Noir of breathtaking complexity; the Côte de Beaune in the south (Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet) for world-class Chardonnay and elegant Pinot Noir. Chablis to the north produces some of the most precise and mineral white wines on earth. At Wines Direct we source Burgundy from growers and négociants who genuinely reflect this exceptional landscape.
