But most of all, Burgundy is appreciated by wine lovers around the world for the fine wines its vineyards produce.This French region of wine production is relatively small compared to others around the country, stretching along a corridor in central-eastern France between the cities of Dijon and Mâcon, as well as around the city of Auxerre. The Sâone and Yonne Rivers, their tributaries, and many canals provide the water that the rich soil needs to grow excellent grapes. Centuries of tradition have perfected the cultivation and winemaking that follows.
