Wines of Burgundy

Best of the best

Some Burgundy wines rank at the pinnacle of world winedom. The very best comes from the fabled Cote d'Or district that produces celestial red wines like:

Romanee-Conti
La Tache Richebourg,
Grands-Echezeaux
Clos de Vougeot
Musigny
Bonnes Mares
Clos de Tart
Clos-de-Beze
Chambertin
Corton

The last is also a great white wine, as is the illustrious Montrachet, which has been labeled by most authorities as the finest dry white wine in the world.

Chablis, Beaujolais,
and Pouilly-Fuisse

These three wines have lesser credentials but have become even greater household words and "musts" for restaurant wine lists both in France and abroad.
