The Cork & Fizz Guide to Wine
Ep 46 Learn About Burgundy Wine with Wine Expert, Alex Lopez
Located in the heart of France is the renowned region of Burgundy.
Burgundy is famed for its vineyards and diverse terroir. From Cote d’Or which is dominated by the Pinot Noir grape to the Cote de Beaune characterized by an abundance of Chardonnay, each sub region holds its own allure and unique varietals.
And with such a large region it’s easy to get confused by all the Burgundy has to offer! (Even if it’s mostly only two grapes!)
So, I’m so excited to have Burgundy expert Alex Lopez (@drinkswithalexlopez) on the podcast today to teach us all about this region! Alex has focused his career on wine and spirit education while keeping accessibility as key. In addition to his numerous wine certifications, he has recently completed an MBA in Wine and Spirits from the Burgundy School of Business in Dijon.
Alex dives into the historical evolution of Burgundy, explains the different sub-regions, the classification system, and even touches on tips for buying wine and what to do and where to stay while visiting Burgundy.
Are you ready for this deep dive into the French region of Burgundy? If so, grab a glass of your favorite French wine and listen in!
