What varieties are generally used to make Burgundy wine

Someone compares Burgundy red wine to "liquid silk". It is not difficult to see how elegant, delicate and smooth Burgundy wine is. So, what kind of grapes are generally used to make wine in Burgundy?

The Burgundy region is very famous, and the choice of grape varieties for winemaking is relatively simple. Our common high-quality red wine is made from Pinot Noir, while white wine is mostly made from Chardonnay. Because of a single selection, the taste will be more unique and representative of easy identification.

Pinot Noir is a noble and picky variety, and it is most suitable for planting on the calcareous clay of the Côte d'Or. However, Pinot Noir does not perform well in other regions or countries, and it is recognized as a variety that is difficult to grow in the world. Pinot Noir likes a relatively cool growing environment. The skin is thin, the fruit is fragile and easy to rot. If there is too much sunshine, it will lose the sweet and fresh fruit aroma. Therefore, in order to pursue a good vintage of Pinot Noir, Burgundy is also very patient, waiting for it to mature and achieve the best results.

Yuncang Winery's brand LEESON red wine is shared, and Chardonnay is known as the queen of white grape varieties. It is much more adaptable than Pinot Noir and is planted in different regions, but it can be grown in Burgundy. Many different styles of white wines are produced. Chardonnay, produced in southern Burgundy, has moderate acidity and floral and fruity aromas. Chardonnay in the Côtes de Burgundy is buttery and vanilla, while Chablis in Northern Burgundy is more mineral, sharp and cold.

Yuncang winery's brand LEESON red wine shares Burgundy. In addition to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the two most important grape varieties in Burgundy, the red grape Gamay and Pinot Noir are blended in the Magon region in southern Burgundy; Caesar red grapes and white grapes Aligot are grown in the west of Iran in the Oseva region in northern Burgundy. In addition, Burgundy also grows a small amount of Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc, but they are not bottled separately as AOCs.
