Ep 78When I was planning my trip to France with Mr. Cork & Fizz, it was an absolute given that we would visit Burgundy! And much to my surprise, I saw that we would have to drive right through Beaujolais to get to Burgundy. You know we had to stop in Beaujolais for a wine tasting and I’m so glad we did! So, for today’s episode we are going to talk about Burgundy and Beaujolais, and what makes each area so special.Beaujolais is actually known as the forgotten part, or black sheep, of Burgundy. We will dive into an overview of Beaujolais, its classification system, what grape comes from here, and the absolutely insane wine that we had at Domaine du “Tane”.Then we will move onto Burgundy with an overview of this region, the classification system here, and what grapes you will find in Burgundy. We discuss what regions house some of the most popular Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays in the world, and my tasting experience at Jean-Baptiste Jessiaume.So, are you ready for a journey through the heart of France’s most beloved wine regions? If so, grab a glass of wine and tune in!ResourcesEp 76 & 77 with Hanna and Michael Shaps of Maison Shaps WineryEp 75 My trip to France: Muscadet 101Ep 74 My trip to France: An overview with travel & planning tipsEp 72 & 73 with French Wine Tutor Katie MelchiorEp 70 The Difference Between Organic, Biodynamic, Natural, and Clean WineEp 19 French wine 101Ep 35 French wine part DeuxRue de Vignerons - https://www.ruedesvignerons.com/en/Episode Highlights:Beaujolais overviewMain grape from BeaujolaisWine aromas from GamayGamay characteristicsWine classification system in BeaujolaisWhat is Beaujolais basicWhat is Beaujolais VillageWhat is Beaujolais CruHow the soil in Beaujolais affect the taste of the wineExploring Beaujolais Cru winesIntroduction to Burgundy wine regionsMy experience with Domaine du “Tane”My favorite wine from BeaujolaisThe basics of BurgundyThe Burgundy wine classification systemAn overview of Chablis, Cote d’Or, Cote Chalonaisse and MaconnaiseMy favorite wines from BurgundyMy tasting experience with Jean-Baptiste JessiaumeWhat did you think of the episode?
