What grape varieties are used in Burgundy to produce red and white wines?
Burgundy rests on a philosophy of grape variety simplicity: two main varieties dominate the entire vineyard. Pinot Noir reigns supreme for red wines, offering fine, elegant wines of great aromatic complexity. Chardonnay asserts itself for the whites, capable of expressing both the sharp minerality of Chablis and the buttery roundness of the great whites of the Côte de Beaune. This concentration on two noble grape varieties is a worldwide singularity: where other regions blend several varieties, Burgundy puts everything into the pure expression of terroir through a single grape variety.
