WINE CELLAR IN BURGUNDY
Burgundy, located southeast of Paris, is one of the world’s most famous areas that produce marvelous and opulent wines. Chardonnay for the whites wines, Pinot Noir and Gamay for the red wines.
Chardonnay is planted in the entire region and reaches its zenith in the Cote-de-Beaune. French Chardonnay is fabulous with a wide variety of foods such as seafood, fish and white meats.
Pinot Noir prevails in different parts of Burgundy, such as Cote-de-Nuits, Cote-de-Beaune, Cote Chalonnaise and Maconnais. Pinot Noir is a delicate red-wine grape. The flavors of intense fruit and soft tannin are unique to the region and can’t be found in the Pinot Noir from California. It’s an excellent choice with coq au vin, roasted chicken, beef stew, game and lots of cheeses.
Gamay is the dominant grape in Beaujolais and is also grown in Maconnais. Delicious paired with pate, charcuteries (cold cuts), grilled steaks, fish, eggs and fresh cheeses.
“La route des vins” is only 3 hours away from Paris! Great wines wait to be sampled and many restaurants to be discovered! Enjoy!
