Burgundy, France

The wine history of this French region dates very far back, but it was during the time of Charlemagne when monks truly started to establish Burgundy as a wine producing area. The main famous types of wine produced in Burgundy are Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Gamay. Burgundy is also home to some of the priciest wine in existence; however, there are plenty of delicious, less expensive wines for one to sample as well. If you want to try the most expensive wines available, head over to the Côte d’Or region of Burgundy.
