Burgundy region
Burgundy (French Bourgogne) is undoubtedly the second best-known wine-growing region in France, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015 and has more than 90 appellations. Grapes have been cultivated on an area of around 37,000 hectares in the east of the country since the 3rd century AD. With a share of 60 percent, the region is a rather white wine-heavy growing area. 30 percent of the area under cultivation is devoted to red and rosé wines and 10 percent to Crémant (sparkling wines).
