This is Burgundy, home to some of France's most gorgeous countryside, and the epitome of old-world Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs. Elegance and sophistication are the order of the day here, along with a zesty minerality thanks to the region's limestone-rich soils which date back nearly 200 million years! We will be visiting Domaine Daniel Rion, a family-owned winery with 45 acres of vineyard plantations in the Cote de Nuits and Haute-Cote regions, producing quality wines that very much reflect the taste and tradition of Burgundy. Domaine Daniel Rion Bourgogne Chardonnay 2014Domaine Daniel Rion Pinot Noir 2013As we navigate downstream and head into the Rhone River, experience a change in climate and wine styles.
