In the magic world of wines, there are only two names which really counts.
These are: Bordeaux and Bourgogne.
Both of them are from France, however they are totally different one from the other, not only because of their size (Bourgogne is much smaller), but as well following the fact that they are using totally different grapes for the wines production processes. In Burgundy these are pinot noir, for red wines and chardonnay for white wines, while all wines are mono-cépage.
Unlike Bordeaux, a region of vast estates owned by wealthy families and corporations, the typical Burgundian wine grower, then as now, owned a few acres of vines. Thanks to marriage and inheritance, the typical family's holdings were scattered among different vineyards.
NEW YORK TIMES (May, 2010):
Among wine enthousiasts's of younger generation enjoying burgundy became more trendy and fashionable. Bordeaux seem to be too much Rolex and Rolls Royce type.
VINTRIPS's program is focused on visiting these small Burgundian winemakers and taste their burgundys. One of the main attractions will be a one day visit to the most picturesque part of Burgundy - the hills covered, BEAUJOLAIS, including a visit to the famous Hameau Dubœuf.
