The region of Burgundy is famous worldwide for its exceptional wines.

Burgundy benefits from specific geological and climatic conditions, this added to 1000 years of savoir-faire in the art of winemaking. Burgundy wines include over 100 different appellations each with a recognizable character and the whole composing a marvellous mosaic of Terroir due to variations in the content of the subsoil, which is essentially limestone.

The multitude of small vineyard parcels corresponds to the “appellations contrôlées” resulting in a myriad of “climats”. With over 600 classified “climats”. The vineyards of Burgundy present a unique and remarkable organoleptic character that makes for the originality of each wine.

Today Burgundy is a candidate for the UNESCO World Heritage label.

Besides these excellent natural factors, the hand of man has a large influence on the quality of the wines. For generations the winemakers have transmitted their know-how with respect to their unique terroir. Largely boosted in the Middle Ages by the hard work of the monks, Burgundy wines are reputed for their ancient traditions, authenticity, highly-prized complexity and character. Every winemaking family in this region is richly endowed with ancestral savoir-faire and treasures right in the earth.

Indeed it is the balance between the natural geological composition of the soil and ancient traditions passed down that makes for the special alchemy of aromas and flavours.

All the wines of this region are produced from a single grape: primarily Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Pinot Noir bears small compact fruit that produce an elegant, often deep purplish red wine. The small and golden green Chardonnay grapes are the essence of the famed fine wines of the Côte de Beaune.

The Château de Cîteaux invites you to taste these superb Burgundy wines in its own 12th century cellars. For wine lovers and collectors we can provide storage space in one of the oldest cellars of the region.
