 Burgundy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Burgundy (French: Bourgogne) is a historic region of France, inhabited in turn by Pre-Indo-European people, Celts (Gauls), Romans (Gallo-Romans), and various Germanic peoples, most importantly the Burgundians and the Franks.
Later, the duchy of Burgundy became the French province of Burgundy, while the county of Burgundy became the French province of Franche-Comté (literally meaning "free county").
The two kingdoms of Burgundy were reunited in 937 and absorbed into the Holy Roman Empire under Conrad II in 1032, while the duchy of Burgundy was annexed by the French throne in 1004.

Burgundy has five distinct regions: from north to south they are: Chablis, Cote d'Or (divided into the Cote de Nuits in the south and Cotes de Beaune in the north), Cote Chalonaise, Maconnais and Beaujolais.
The southernmost portion of the Burgundy region lies near the town of Lyon and in the foothills of the Massif Central as it tapers off into the Saane Valley.
However, the wines are quite different in style from those of the Cotes d'Or, somewhat less opulent in the case of Pinot Noir, and slightly fatter and riper for Chardonnay.

But Burgundy's innate sense of superiority about its wine was jolted late last year when local police arrested 10 brokers and merchants from three prominent wine-trading companies.
In some cases, old wine set to be made into vinegar was mixed with other lesser-quality vintages and passed off as medium-quality wine.

In Bordeaux, the châteaus are ranked; in Burgundy, the vineyards are.
Place Matters In Burgundy, as in the rest of France, wines go by the name of the place where they're made (e.g., Mâcon, Meursault), rather than by the grape they're made from—as it's almost invariably Pinot Noir or Chardonnay (except in Beaujolais, where it's Gamay).
Greatest are the wines made from grand cru vineyards, identified by the vineyard name alone—La Tâche, for instance.
