To
classify Burgundy wines is no easy task.
Burgundy offers an extraordinary
variety of appellations which has no parallel in any other wine growing region
of the world.
They range from very rich and intense reds in the north, to
lighter reds and heavy whites in the middle and light whites and few reds in the
south.
A Red Burgundy is made from Pinot Noir grapes. Softer and fruiter than the Bordeaux, this wine yields a taste of berries, and is ideal for lighter dishes such as fish or meats with mild flavors.
