Burgundy is a wine region in eastern France. Its wines, along with those from Bordeaux and Champagne, are among the most prestigious in the world. The Burgundy vineyard stretches for 250 kilometers from the north of Chablis to the south of the Mâcon region.
The Champagne region is located about 150 km from Paris, in northern France, in the province of the same name. European Union regulations and the laws of most countries reserve the term Champagne exclusively for wines from this region.
As early as the time of Charlemagne, vines were already being planted in this area. Later, the Counts of Champagne and several kings such as Louis X of France and Louis XIV continued this tradition. Even in the Middle Ages, Pope Urban II declared the wine from Aÿ as the best in the world.
Most of the wines produced here are red wines made from the Syrah grape, sometimes blended with small amounts of white grapes such as Roussanne or Marsanne. Some white wines are also produced using Marsanne and/or Roussanne.
The Jura region is one of the smallest in France, with 1,850 hectares stretching along a strip of about 80 kilometers from north to south, in a landscape of wooded slopes and rugged terrain shaped by the mountains of the same name. It is located near the Swiss border.
