Our Guide To White Burgundy

White Burgundy is a historic wine region built upon ancient limestone seabeds and monastic traditions. The region is primarily known for its Chardonnay wines, with production centered in several key areas including Chablis, the Côte de Beaune's prestigious "Golden Triangle" (Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, and Chassagne-Montrachet), Pouilly-Fuissé, and the Mâconnais. While most famous for Chardonnay, the region also produces distinctive wines from the Aligoté grape. Each sub-region's unique terroir - combining soil, climate, and tradition - creates distinctive wine styles, ranging from the mineral-driven wines of Chablis to the richer expressions of the Côte de Beaune. Today's producers balance traditional methods with modern innovations, adapting to contemporary challenges while maintaining Burgundy's reputation for exceptional white wines.
