White Burgundy
Some of the greatest white wines on Earth are produced along the C么te de Beaune in Burgundy. With such high demand for relatively small production, these remain the stuff of special occasions. But there is more to white Burgundy than grand Montrachets and Meursaults, with many more affordable offerings coming from Chablis in the north, the M芒connais in the south and the C么te Chalonnaise in between. Even the fabled C么te d鈥橭r can be persuaded to offer up some everyday value to the canny buyer.
