Burgundy is certainly one of the most sought-after wine regions in the world, and its influence on the global wine scene is unparalleled. Ancient Romans and not-so-ancient monks shaped Burgundy’s history of winemaking, and nearly all the appellations in Burgundy result from monastic culture’s meticulous scholarship and study of vineyards. Given Burgundy’s storied history, it is a rather difficult place to understand, and Burgundian labels are notoriously befuddling. We’ll be discussing this history, cracking the code of Burgundy’s highly confusing appellations, and pouring a killer flight of Pinots and Chardonnays, including wines from classified premier and grand cru vineyards.
