Burgundy means Pinot. The area is sometimes described as a "minefield", but the rule
seems to apply "follow the grower". And Burgundy is all about terroir, from village to
village, from vineyard to vineyard, from one row of vines to another. And of course,
vintage matters also. In Auxerre the wines tend to be lighter and fresher, emphasizing
the fruit. Moving into the Cotes de Nuits, young village wines tend to show delicious
primary Pinot aromas and fruit (violets, red cherries, raspberries), whereas the 1er
cru wines are meatier and express darker fruit flavours allied to other notes of wood
and mineral. As all the wines age (and some do more quickly than others) they begin
to unfurl other aromatic flavours - hints of forest here, notes of truffle there.
