Burgundy is a beautiful place to visit year-round, but if you want to do some wine tasting in Burgundy, spring and fall are the best times of year for this activity. Spring and fall offer the most temperate climates. Summer can be extremely hot (and humid) in Burgundy especially since most vineyards are located on hillsides near rivers or streams for irrigation purposes.

So, this time of year may not boast the most pleasant weather for hiking around vineyards looking at grapes being grown. Additionally, during the winter months, some wineries close because tourists won’t travel to cold areas like this one during those months. However, some Burgundy wineries are open year-round.

Burgundy primarily produces white and red wines, along with some rosés. The most common grapes grown in Burgundy include Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Gamay and Auxerrois. 

Burgundy boasts a total of 84 appellations d'origine contrôlée (AOC), organized into four levels: regional appellations, village appellations, premier crus, and grand crus.

Regional Appellations

The Regional Appellations include wines from the entire region such as Bourgogne Rouge, Bourgogne Blanc, and Crémant de Bourgogne.

Village Appellations

Specific to certain villages producing wines that bear the name of the village : some of the most renowned are Chablis, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Meursault.

Premier Crus

They come from very specific vineyards within the villages. The Premier Crus and are made popular for their superior quality. They carry the name of the village followed by the name of the vineyard, such as Puligny-Montrachet Premier Cru "Les Pucelles."

Grand Crus

A Grand Cru is one of the most prestigious wines, sourced from vineyards with exceptional terroirs. These wines are often simply named like the vineyard, such as Romanée-Conti or Montrachet.

The white wines of the region tend to be lighter-bodied than those produced in other regions of France, such as the Chablis or Champagne region. They're often made from 100% Chardonnay grapes that are fermented separately from their skins first before being blended together later on in the process. The resulting product is a fragrant but dry wine with hints of citrus fruit flavors like grapefruit and lemon peel alongside notes of caramelized sugar or honeyed sweetness.

Red Burgundies tend toward earthier flavors than their counterparts made elsewhere throughout France because they spend time fermenting inside large oak barrels before being bottled.

Discover the “climats” of Burgundy, these plots of vineyards demarcated and named for centuries, recognized as UNESCO world heritage sites. Each climate offers a unique terroir, contributing to the diversity and quality of Burgundy wines.

Located in east-central France, 2.5 hours from Paris by train, the Burgundy wine region is ideal for enjoying a wine weekend.
