bourgogne

A winemaker in the Bourgogne told me that one other good reason is the tartaric acid in the grapes.

I've worked in vineyards at the end of summer in the Bourgogne region, never come across any foreign illegal workers there.

What if I present you some obscure Bourgogne with a subtle honey/peach taste.

I have discovered that there is clear distinction between Bordeaux and Bourgogne (Pinot Noir) wines and in general I do like Bordeaux more.

Bordeaux and Bourgogne (Burgundy) are the big ones[0].

That is, price wise, I would choose Bordeaux over Bourgogne any time.

I'll call out specifically the Alma Fria and Division Chardonnays, both from California, and in general a $40 bottle of Bourgogne will be very special.

[0] Bordeaux is bigger, Bourgogne has more controlled designations of origin.

Also, this is partly why there is a « Moutarde de Bourgogne » appellation d'origine contrôlée, which means the mustard was actually made in Burgundy, because « Moutarde de Dijon » is a way of doing mustard, not an origin statement.

While Dan Murphy's range might on the surface seem comparable to say, Sydney's Oak Barrel: if you know you want a non-typical French red (say, not a Bordeaux blend or Bourgogne pinot noir), the latter has a truly wider selection away from the generic, sellable reds.

A EUR 8 Bourgogne is pretty much guaranteed to be crap: you're paying for the word "Bourgogne" on the label.

And the latter (Dijon's recipe) imports most of the mustard seeds used in its mustard, while the "Moutarde de Bourgogne" has to use locally produced seeds.

I checked the link in the sibling comment[0] and just found out that "Gare Paris Bercy Bourgogne - Pays d'Auvergne" is a thing that exists.

The only French mustard that has a legal certification (an "IGP", meaning "Certified Geographic Origin") is the "Moutarde de Bourgogne".

You would want to drink a (craft) lager colder than a (craft) stout or the Duchesse de Bourgogne.

Paris was one of the 3 main wine producing region (with Bordeaux and Bourgogne) till the end of the 1800s.

I've been using Anki quite successfully to learn things about wines in french, especially about the wine domains in Bordeaux and Bourgogne.
