Côte d’Or – where Chardonnay and Pinot reach their apogee
My love of wine started with the pale reds of Burgundy, spread to Italy and then around the world. But I keep returning to the mystery of how these insubstantial looking wines can delight, disappoint and, occasionally, amaze. And then there are the whites. Here are my main posts and pages on the Côte D’Or region of eastern, central France.
