Discover 38 picturesque wine villages of the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune, wineries, and beautiful countryside over a length of 60 km. The wines are bottled without fining or filtration. The Route des Grands Crus (Wine Route) passes through the most prestigious part of Burgundys vineyards, between Dijon and Beaune then on to Santenay. The wines return to vat as the new vintage is put into barrel, so only one vintage is in barrel at any time. The wines are only racked once, usually only a year after the vintage. After 17-20 days maceration, the temperature descends to 20-22 degrees and after pressing age in oak, the percentage of new one vary per cuvée and vintage – from none to the Bourgogne to up to 100% for the grand crus. The Burgundy wine-producing land parcel is also called 'Climat' (climate). In Burgundy, the concept of terroir (cultivated land) is very important since it’s the soil that gives its name to the wine (in Alsace, it’s the grape variety, in Bordeaux, the estate). Frequent short pigeages are done, and the temperature is allowed to rise up to 35 degrees – which retains even more colour to the liquid. Each wine region in France has its own wine classification. The destemed grapes are transferred to stainless steel vats without crushing and cooled to 10-12 degrees so the natural yeast fermentation starts 4-5 days later – to allow further extraction of colour from the skins. Burgundy wine is made in the Burgundy region of eastern France, in the valleys and slopes west of the Sane, a tributary of the Rhne. nowadays, up to 20% of stems are retained, compared to 50% 20 years ago. The wine making technique is flexible and the proportion of stems to be retained is decided annually.
