About Burgundy wine tours & wine tasting in France

The vineyards of Burgundy have been producing some of France's finest and most complex wines since the 12th century, thanks to the region’s unique soil composition and climate. For centuries, Burgundy has been known for its amazing Pinot Noir reds and Chardonnays whites, but it also produces other types of wines including rosés, Riesling, and sparkling Crémant de Bourgogne (a sparkling red wine).

Burgundy is located in western France along its namesake river which flows from Switzerland through Germany before emptying into the North Sea at Rotterdam. This geographical feature makes Burgundy a very diverse region with lots of different types of vineyards located at different altitudes throughout all four seasons. Each season brings new challenges for grape growers but also provides unique opportunities depending on what kind of grapes grow best under each particular climate type.

Grape growers in this region tend to grow the following types of grapes:

  • Chardonnay (white).
  • Pinot Noir (red).
  • Gamay Noir (red).
  • Pinot Gris (white).

Burgundy is an amazing place to visit, with lots to see and do in nearby areas. The city of Dijon has been a regional capital since the Middle Ages and was once home to the French Parliament. As you might guess, this city is also famous for its mustard. There are great museums, palaces, gardens and historic buildings that make the Burgundy region worth visiting while you're in France. Dijon winery are also a great place to get started with burgundy wines. 

While there are thousands of options for wine tours and tastings in Burgundy, Winalist hand-picks the best wineries and wine tasting experiences available that are certain to provide unparalleled wine experiences. You can choose a wine tasting experience in Bordeaux based on its price point, suitability for non-French speakers (though most wineries in Bordeaux, France don't require you to speak French), and their overall experience factor (i.e., how much fun they are).

Burgundy wine highlights:

  • Known for its Pinot Noir reds and Chardonnay whites.
  • Located in eastern-central France.
  • Easy commute from Paris.

History of Winemaking in Burgundy, France

The history of winemaking in Burgundy, France, is full of colorful stories. The region is so rich in history and tradition that it's considered one of the most famous wine regions in the world. From its romantic past to its modern-day reputation as one of the finest places on earth to taste some of the best wines, Burgundy has been home to some truly incredible events throughout its long history.

One aspect of Burgundy's illustrious past involves its signature grape varietal known as Pinot Noir. This particular red varietal was discovered by monks during the medieval ages and has since become an integral part of many reds produced within this region. The story goes that these monks were looking for warmer climates because their original vineyards were failing due to harsh winters; however, when they arrived at what would become known as Pinot Noir country, they found success in both making wine and growing grapes.

Another interesting fact about Burgundy's winemaking history involves Chardonnay, a white varietal which also originated within this region centuries ago. This wine type popularity skyrocketed around 1962 when California started producing high quality examples using this grape type (which prompted other countries, including France itself).

When is the best time to visit Burgundy for wine tasting?

Burgundy is a beautiful place to visit year-round, but if you want to do some wine tasting in Burgundy, spring and fall are the best times of year for this activity. Spring and fall offer the most temperate climates. Summer can be extremely hot (and humid) in Burgundy especially since most vineyards are located on hillsides near rivers or streams for irrigation purposes.

So, this time of year may not boast the most pleasant weather for hiking around vineyards looking at grapes being grown. Additionally, during the winter months, some wineries close because tourists won’t travel to cold areas like this one during those months. However, some Burgundy wineries are open year-round.

What types of wines do wineries in Burgundy Produce?

Burgundy primarily produces white and red wines, along with some rosés. The most common grapes grown in Burgundy include Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Gamay and Auxerrois. 

The white wines of the region tend to be lighter-bodied than those produced in other regions of France, such as the Chablis or Champagne region. They're often made from 100% Chardonnay grapes that are fermented separately from their skins first before being blended together later on in the process. The resulting product is a fragrant but dry wine with hints of citrus fruit flavors like grapefruit and lemon peel alongside notes of caramelized sugar or honeyed sweetness.

Red Burgundies tend toward earthier flavors than their counterparts made elsewhere throughout France because they spend time fermenting inside large oak barrels before being bottled.
