Video Sum Up: What are the grapes used in Burgundy

Burgundy makes extraordinary wines both white and red.

The two primary grapes are:

• Chardonnay on the white side
• Pinot Noir on the red side

Also used in Burgundy, especially in Beaujolais is Gamay (to make Beaujolais of course )

For the whites, beside the Chardonnay two other grapes are used:

• Aligoté which makes a fruity style wine not necessarily long lived but easy to drink wine
• and very unusual in Burgundy: Sauvignon Blanc only grown in Saint-Bris. Classic style old world Sauvignon Blanc.
