The difference between Burgundy and Bordeaux

The differences between Burgundy and Bordeaux are as follows:

First of all, the climate is different

1, Bordeaux is located in the southwest of France, with unique climate and geographical conditions. In the western Atlantic Ocean, the Gironde River flows slowly from this area. Because it is a maritime temperate climate, the weather in the producing area is always so mild and stable. Poor sandy soil, clay and calcareous soil constitute a complex and diverse geological structure, which enables Bordeaux to brew a variety of wines.

2. Burgundy is located in the inland of eastern France, which belongs to a typical continental climate. It is cold in winter, sometimes with frost and hail in spring, high in summer and dry in autumn, which is very suitable for grape ripening. Burgundy's terrain is long and narrow from north to south, so the styles between north and south are very different. The soil composition of Burgundy is varied, but it is mainly calcareous soil in Jurassic period, which is the favorite of Chardonnay and Black Pi Nuo.

Second, the planting area is different.

1, the grape planting area of Bordeaux is about 1 0.3 million hectares, with an annual output of 800 million bottles, 57 producing areas, about10.3 million wineries and10.3 million grape plantations, with an annual output of about 960 million bottles.

2. Burgundy grape planting area is about 22,000 hectares, with an annual output of 65.438+0.8 billion bottles of wine. Including 10 1 AOC legal production area, 562 first-class vineyards, 33 super-grade vineyards and more than 4,000 wineries.

Third, grape varieties are different.

1, Bordeaux is famous for its six reds and three whites: six reds: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Vittorio, Carmena and malbec. These three white wines are Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Musk. Liu Hong is the legal variety for brewing red wine and Sanbai is the legal variety for brewing white wine in this area.

2. The main wine grapes in Burgundy are Black Pi Nuo and Chardonnay. Among them, Black Pi Nuo is a typical representative of Burgundy, and other grape varieties include Sauvignon Blanc, Mei Jia, Grey Pi Nuo and White Pi Nuo.

Extended data:

Burgundy, located in the northeast of France, is an ancient wine producing area in France. Burgundy grape producing area stretches for 250 kilometers, covering three counties, including Joen County in Chablis, Qiu Jin in the Night Mountain and Valley in Boumont, Thorne-Loire and Magon in Salon. Only a few grape varieties are used as table wine in Burgundy's legal producing areas: Chardonnay and Aligat are used to make white wine, Black Pi Nuo is used to make red wine, and some Margaux wines are sweet.

Bordeaux is the largest AOC wine producing area in France. Bordeaux has the same AOC grade red wine, and the classification is very different. Usually, the smaller the producing area marked on the wine label, the higher the quality of the wine, so the wine in the winery is the most expensive. In Bordeaux, there are more than 8,000 wine producers, all over100000 hectares of vineyards. The wines produced have their own styles, and even if they are separated by a street, their flavors are quite different.
