One Day for Bourgogne Wines

27/02/2019

Bourgogne Week Hong Kong 2019

 

‘One Day for Bourgogne Wines’ headlines the 4th edition of Bourgogne Wine Board’s (BIVB) annual showcase featuring a week-long series of tastings and events from 25 February – 2 March 2019.

The highly-anticipated tasting for the wine trade, sommeliers and media samples the fruits of a new vintage hailed as “typically elegant” – from iconic Grand Cru and Village Premier Cru AOCs to intriguing, lesser-known Régionale AOCs with geographical denominations waiting to be discovered.

It rediscovers appellations such as Aloxe-Corton, Bourgogne Aligoté, Côte de Beaune-Villages, Crémant de Bourgogne, Fixin Premier Cru, Mâcon Villages, Monthélie, Petit Chablis, Rully Premier Cru, Saint-Aubin Premier Cru and Givry Premier Cru.

Lesser-known appellations of AOC Bourgogne and Mâcon are also worthy of attention from more restrictive areas of production speak of the terroir where they were born. They also provide a competitive response to consumers looking for Bourgogne wines which bear the image of the region but at affordable prices. These Regional AOCs with geographical denomination represent 16% of the total Bourgogne wine offer, with 6 showcased during ‘One Day for Bourgogne’.

Also, worth noting is the region’s latest appellation Bourgogne Côte d’Or, nothing to do with the eponymous department. The newly-defined vineyard stretches from south of Dijon down to Les Maranges. It is mainly situated on the Piedmont. A new expression of Bourgogne’s rich diversity of terroirs produced under strict conditions, the name is shortened from "Côte d'Orient", or "oriented to the east", with privileged exposure to the rising sun. Only started being produced in 2017, it will soon be available on the Hong Kong market.
