The Burgundy Pyramid
Making sense of the complexity of the complexity of Burgundy isn’t easy.
Though Burgundy only comprises 5% of France’s vineyard area, it holds 100 different Appellations, 25% of the entire French total. There are no less than 5,000 growers, 85% of whom own less than 10 hectares, and four fifths of them make wine.

Lequin-Colin, Corton Charlemagne, Grand Cru, 2017
The Lequin vines are south facing, high on the hill overlooking Aloxe-Corton - Francois says "un terroir trés solaire".
