Burgundy

Burgundy is landlocked and has a continental climate where it experiences all four seasons. Its winters are cold, and its summers are warm and temperate. In the northern regions of Chablis and Côte de Nuits, slope aspect is crucial to ensure the grapes get enough sunshine and warmth to ripen. In the southern regions of Côte de Beaune, Côte Chalonnaise, and Mâconnais slope aspect is still important, but the overall temperatures are warmer and more forgiving.
