Burgundy's ancient and complex geological landscape produces wines that exemplify distinction and exceptional character. Explore how soil composition, topographical features, and climate variations create sufficient diversity to establish 101 different Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) designations within this historic region's boundaries.
Discover the historical developments and traditions that shaped such intricate regional subdivisions. This session builds upon the previous week's exploration of Burgundy's Côte d'Or, progressing into the distinct areas of Chablis, Chalonnaise, and Maconnaise.
