Bourgogne, located in eastern France, is a historic wine region originally shaped by medieval monks who meticulously mapped its countless terroirs. The region has elevated terroir to an art form with its intricate system of climats. Stretching from Chablis in the north down to the Mâconnais in the south, the area is characterized by a continental climate with cold winters, cool springs, and warm summers. The soils are predominantly a classic mix of clay and limestone. The Bourgogne AOC, officially established in 1937, serves as the foundational regional classification covering this vast geographical area. The 1995 vintage in this region achieved a score of 87 points and is described as mature and classic with good structure.
This wine is made exclusively from Chardonnay, one of the world's most recognized green grape varieties. While it is widely planted in areas such as Champagne, California, and Oregon, it is deeply rooted in Bourgogne, where it stands as one of the two absolute main grapes defining the region's production.
