Burgundy has so many famous villages that you feel at home when you see all the sign posts, even if you have never been there: Aloxe-Corton, Gevrey-Chambertin, Pommard, Morey-Saint-Denis, Puligny-Montrachet and so on. Burgundy is filled with small producers and they have small plots spread out over the region, in different villages. But no matter how small the quantity from one village, they would rarely blend it with another village.
The concept of terroir is deeply rooted in Burgundy. We will talk a lot about terroir during our days in Burgundy while tasting taste magnificent wines including premier cru and grand cru.
We continue our tour south, to the Rhône Valley and the landscape changes and also the wines. The elegance of Burgundy give way to more structured syrah wines in the Northern Rhône and opulent grenache wines in the Southern Rhône.
The Southern Rhône Valley is not only synonymous with the famous Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines, but there are also many prominent wine producers in villages such as Gigondas, Séguret and Vacqueyras. The region is part of Provence and is therefore known for its beautiful landscape and delicious Mediterranean-inspired food.
