Bourgogne (Burgundy)

Bourgogne is a region of France, known as Burgundy in English, which is also an appellation d’origine contrôlée renowned for wines made (predominantly) from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. In terms of wine production the region is broadly divided into three (non-contiguous) areas: Chablis, Côte d’Or and Mâconnais. Many of the wines are highly sought after (and priced commensurately).
