Bourgogne, not Burgundy.

About 200 million years ago, Bourgogne was part of a vast, tropical sea. Time has transformed an accumulation of oyster shells, coral and fish bones into limestone-rich soils; the secret behind the zesty minerality and hallmark of Bourgogne wines. If you venture into the vineyards, you can find rocks that contain ancient, fossilized sea creatures

Bourgogne is the only wine region in France whose name is translated into different languages: “Burgundy” in English, “Burgund” in German, “Borgogna” in Italian, to name but a few. The Interprofessional Bureau of Burgundy Wines (BIVB), or Bourgogne Wine Board, has initiated a major platform shift transitioning all references to the region and its wine to its french name. We are following suit.

Wonderful and complex. Chill for 10-minutes before serving to enhance acidity and the fresh notes of cranberry, candied cherry, white flower and blueberry. As it returns to room temperature, it begins to debut notes of forest floor, autumn leaves and orange rind.

This easy-drinking, Monday to Thursday wine will excel with a variety of summer-inspired dishes from beet and goat cheese crostini's to salads and pasta's featuring wild mushrooms.
