Burgundy might be the most confusing wine region on the planet, and also one of the greatest. In this video I break down how Burgundy actually works: its five sub-regions from Chablis down to the Mâconnais, the famous Côte d'Or "Golden Slope," and the four-tier classification system: Regional, Village, Premier Cru, and Grand Cru, that ranks the land itself rather than the producer. Plus: why a single vineyard can have 80 different owners, and what the "climats" really mean. In other words, if you want to learn about Burgundy wines, you’re at the right place. This is your ultimate guide to understand Burgundy.
