Burgundy Premier Cru
Premier Cru Burgundy wines, just below Grand Cru in prestige, are produced in Côte d'Or from meticulously mapped vineyards called climats. Red Premier Cru wines, made from Pinot Noir, offer elegant structures with berry, earth, and spice flavours, and age well. White Premier Cru wines, from Chardonnay, are known for their finesse, with citrus, apple, and mineral notes. Notable vineyards include Les Amoureuses and Les Perrières. Renowned producers like Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé and Domaine des Comtes Lafon create complex, balanced wines that are highly regarded by enthusiasts.
