Quality

Quality is a fundamental aspect of Burgundy wine production.
In viticulture, this means rigorous selection of grape varieties, optimum choice of plots, meticulous management of the vineyard (cultivation practices, tillage, pruning, etc.) and harvesting the grapes at the optimum moment of ripeness.
In winemaking, this means meticulous processes aimed at preserving the unique characteristics of the grapes, through winemaking methods adapted to each terroir and vintage. The quality of Burgundy wines is also assessed through organoleptic criteria, including balance, aromatic complexity, structure and length on the palate.
Appellations d'origine contrôlée (AOCs) play a crucial role in guaranteeing the exceptional quality of wines, by setting strict production and tasting standards specific to each terroir.
