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)
