In this video I break down how Burgundy actually works: its five sub-regions from Chablis down to the Mâconnais, the famous Côte d'Or "Golden Slope," and the four-tier classification system: Regional, Village, Premier Cru, and Grand Cru, that ranks the land itself rather than the producer. Plus: why a single vineyard can have 80 different owners, and what the "climats" really mean. In other words, if you want to learn about Burgundy wines, you’re at the right place. This is your ultimate guide to understand Burgundy. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 📚CHAPTERS 📚 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬00:00 Introduction00:52 Bordeaux ranks the Châteaux, Burgundy ranks the dirt02:23 The geography of Burgundy from North to South05:23 Focus on the Côte d’Or (Golden Slope)06:43 The four-tier wine classification pyramid in Burgundy10:05 Why one vineyard in Burgundy has 80 owners 12:16 How to read a Burgundy wine label? 13:12 Remember this to master Burgundy winesConclusion▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⭐️ ABOUT ⭐️ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬My name is Antoine, and I’ve been passionate about wine for several years.
