The wine region of Beaune
Historical capital of Burgundy wines and largest communal appellation of the Côte de Beaune: signature Pinot Noir as king red (~85%) — ruby robe with notes of cherry, raspberry, redcurrant, violet, peony and a spicy touch, fine tannins and harmonious structure, perfumed finish. Fresh mineral Chardonnay as complement (citrus, white flowers, almond). 42 Premier Cru climats (Grèves, Clos des Mouches, Bressandes). AOC (1936), ~410 ha, marl-limestone on the western hill.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Tanin
A natural compound contained in the skin of the grape, the seed or the woody part of the bunch, the stalk. The maceration of red wines allows the extraction of tannins, which give the texture, the solidity and also the mellowness when the tannins are "ripe". The winemaker seeks above all to extract the tannins from the skin, the ripest and most noble. The tannins of the seed or stalk, which are "greener", especially in average years, give the wine hardness and astringency. The wines of Bordeaux (based on Cabernet and Merlot) are full of tannins, those of Burgundy much less so, with Pinot Noir containing little.
