 Re: Great Wine Regions
The Bordeaux region is divided by two rivers, the Gironde and the Garonne, creating two zones.
On the West Side (You'll find great white wines and sweet wines):
Medoc - Known for Red wine...fine and elegant
Graves - Known for producing the most delicate wine...
On the East Side (You'll find great Fronsac and Canon-Fronsac -- Deep colored red wines):
Pomerol
St-Emilion - Considered the most robust wine of Bordeaux
As for the Burgundy Wine Region, you've got the following regions:
Cote de Nuits - You'll find great red wines like Chambertin, Morey-Saint Denis, and Chambolle-Musigney (The grapes found here Red: Pinot Noir, White: Chardonnay)
Cote de Beaune- You'll find Red and white wine here. (The grapes found here Red: Pinot Noir, White: Chardonnay)
Cote Chalonnaise - You'll find Red and white wine here. (The grapes found here Red: Pinot Noir, White: Chardonnay)
Maconnais - Previously known for its red wine but now largest producing area of white wine in Burgundy (The grapes found here Red: Pinot Noir and Gamay, White: Chardonnay)
