BOURGOGNE

It is widely belived in France, that Paris is France's brain, its soul is Champagne, but the stomach is definitely Bourgogne (Burgundy).
Furthermore, this is the only one region, all over the world, where one may enjoy at the same time:

Greatest world's wines
Greatest world's gastronomy
Greatest monuments of our contemporary, mediterranean civilization.

JOIE DE VIVRE

Bourgogne seems to be, a great destination to understand the true meaning of expression:

JOIE DE VIVRE


"Joie de vivre" is much more that simple " life's joy", these are not the words which counts, but the whole life's philosophy. Philosophy which one may understand only after spending some time in Bourgogne.

The same applies to the wines. We never say here simply "wine", but instead would always use: "bourgogne". Bourgogne (burgundy) is much more than just a wine, it is the philosophy of wine. Philosphy of wine which one may understand only after spending some time in Bourgogne.

In France, at the time of making a selection and buying wine for dinner, we usually have to decide whether we intend to purchase "wine" ? or "bourgogne" ?
These are two different categories !
