BURGUNDY.
The ancient province of Burgundy is now repre
sented chiefly by the Departement of the Cote D'Or
the S6ane-et-Loire, and the Yonne.
The finest Burgundy vineyards are in the Cote
D'Or, which extends for about thirty-six miles
south from Dijon to Santenay, and includes such
famous names as Chambertin, Musigny, CIos de
Vougeot, Romanfe Conti, Richebourg, Nuits St.
George, etc., also the well-known names of Beaune,
Pommard, Volnay, etc.
Situated also in the
Cote D'Or are the famous Montrachet vineyards,
which produce one of the finest white wines of
France. Good White Burgundy is also made from
the vineyards of Meursault.
To the north-west of the Cote D'Or, at a distance
of some ninety miles, the Departement of Yonne
produces the celebrated white wines of Chablis.
The best red wines of Saone-et-Loire are those
of Macon, and the best white wines those of Pouilly.
Further south are the vinej'ards which produce
the wines of Beaujolais.
Still further south are the vineyards producing
the wines of Hermitage.
