    Burgundy wines explained: Grand Cru, Premier Cru & the Climats

    🗺️ The Burgundy Wine Map: https://www.winemakersshow.com/shop/carte-vins-bourgogne 🎓 Learn wine, join the academy: https://academy.winemakersshow.com  Burgundy might be the most confusing wine region on the planet, and also one of the greatest. In this video I break down how Burgundy actually works: its five sub-regions from Chablis down to the Mâconnais, the famous Côte d'Or "Golden Slope," and the four-tier classification system: Regional, Village, Premier Cru, and Grand Cru, that ranks the land itself rather than the producer. Plus: why a single vineyard can have 80 different owners, and what the "climats" really mean. In other words, if you want to learn about Burgundy wines, you’re at the right place. This is your ultimate guide to understand Burgundy.  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 📚CHAPTERS 📚 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 Introduction 00:52 Bordeaux ranks the Châteaux, Burgundy ranks the dirt 02:23 The geography of Burgundy from North to South 05:23 Focus on the Côte d’Or (Golden Slope) 06:43 The four-tier wine classification pyramid in Burgundy 10:05 Why one vineyard in Burgundy has 80 owners  12:16 How to read a Burgundy wine label?  13:12 Remember this to master Burgundy wines Conclusion ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⭐️ ABOUT ⭐️ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ My name is Antoine, and I’ve been passionate about wine for several years.

    #114 - Building the Saint-Emilion of tomorrow: Valérie Befve, CEO of Château Dassault

    Is Saint-Émilion already what it needs to be, or is its future still being written? For Valérie Befve, the answer is clear: Bordeaux must keep building, adapting, and rethinking itself to remain at the forefront of fine wine. As CEO of Château Dassault, the Grand Cru Classé owned by the Dassault family since 1955, she is actively shaping what the next chapter of the region will look like. Over the course of our conversation, Valérie traces her unusual path from running her own family winery to leading one of the largest estates in Saint-Émilion. We dig into the singular Saint-Émilion classification that makes every estate re-sit an exam every ten years, the gulf between north and south-facing terroirs, and how the region is adapting to a tougher market. From hospitality and wine tourism to grape-variety choices made for a warming climate, this is a clear-eyed case for why Bordeaux is anything but finished, and why its best value-for-money wines might be the smartest bottles to put in your cellar right now. ▬▬ 🎁 GIFTS 🎁 ▬▬ 📚 Vigneronne, by Laure Gasparotto 🍇 Dassault Wine Estates 🏆 Understand everything about Bordeaux classifications in a short video 🎁 Get your wine essentials on our shop: a curated selection of wine accessories, posters and much more 🗺️ Get the best Wine Map of the Bordeaux region: as information as decorative ▬▬ ⭐️ ABOUT ⭐️ ▬▬ My name is Antoine, and I’ve been passionate about wine for several years.
