White Burgundy is white wine  from the Burgundy (Bourgogne) region of France. Most, but not all of the wine, is made from 100% Chardonnay  grapes.

Classifications:

• Grand Cru - highest level of classification, meaning "Great Growth."
• Premier Cru - meaning "First Growth."
• Regional- based on vineyard sites.
• Village - based on village sites (Chablis, Macon, etc.).

Chardonnay - a white grape, usually makes dry wine or champagne 

Aligoté - a white grape, usually produces a light wine, also dry

Bourgogne  is located in central France , and is home to vineyards that produce some of the most popular and expensive wines of the world. In the Burgundy region, vineyards have been in production for thousands of years, dating as far back as the 1st century AD! They are seasoned veterans when it comes to winemaking. First, monks built walls around the vineyards and the tradition has been carried on through the years by families and monarchies alike. There is specualtion as to whether the quality of Burgundy wines could be improved due to weather and soil conditions - for example: the Chardonnay vine grows best in limestone soil, but the Beaujolais  region (central/ northern central France) has sandy granite and no limestone - and still, Burgundy continues this day to be a first class and world famous home to vineyards . Burgundy is also known for its famous French cuisine dishes: coq au vin, beef bourguignon, Escargots de Bourgogne, and Époisses de Bourgogne - all of which would probably go great with any Burgundy wine, white or red.

The most prized regions/villages (all located in Cote d'Or) are:

• Puligny Montrachet 
• Chassagne Montrachet 
• Meursault
