Bourgogne, I Hardly Know Ya!

Burgundy may be one of the most daunting wine regions to break into for winos at any experience levels. Grand Crus and Premier Crus; vineyards within villages within regions all with names you can't even pronounce.  

I suppose my point is that Burgundy is a scary place.  I still have nightmares about it.  BUT, if you're brave enough to go exploring, taste, read up a bit on everything I just mentioned you'll have a working understanding in no time and you'll be experiencing some of the most nuanced and expressive wines this planet has to offer.  

I'll start you off with this overarching truth about Burgundy:  There is arguably no other place in the wine world more obsessed with terroir (the expression of the place the grapes come from in a wine) than Burgundy.  Here, it's all about the land not about the people.

 The wines in this list are a few wines I've had recently that I very much enjoyed and I think will make good intros to what Burgundy is all about flavor-wise at multiple quality levels.
