Burgundy, Administrative region in central France
The region spans four departments - Côte-d'Or, Saône-et-Loire, Nièvre, and Yonne - with Dijon serving as the capital and administrative center.
The Duchy of Burgundy emerged as a dominant European power from the 11th to 15th centuries until its annexation by France after Charles the Bold's death.
The monasteries of Cluny and Cîteaux shaped medieval European religious practices while establishing Burgundy as a center of manuscript production and architectural innovation.
The region connects to Paris via TGV trains from Gare de Lyon, with additional access through major motorways and proximity to international airports.
The Côte-d'Or vineyards produce specific varieties of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, determined by the exact soil composition of each individual plot.
