The wine region of Burgundy produces some of the most expensive, rare, and coveted wines in the world. It is centered around the french city of Dijon and is the original home of the varietals Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Burgundy has a long history of wine production and boasts a strict system of vineyard classifications originally designed by the monks who once tended these vineyards. Burgundian wines often emphasize subtle elegance and the expression of terroir over power and concentration. Soils here are heavy in limestone with clay, marl, and even some iron mixed in. Grand Cru Burgundian wine, while expensive, is considered by many to be the best wine money can buy.
