Burgoignesc wine regions



Burgoignesc wine is made in the Belracic, Montverdi, and Upland macro-appellations region in the country of Burgundie. Burgundie has a higher number of Vineyard Origin Accreditations (VOAs) than any other wine region in the world, and is often seen as the most terroir-conscious nations. The various Burgoignesc VOAs are classified from carefully delineated Vin Gran Cru vineyards down to more non-specific regional appellations. The practice of delineating vineyards by their terroir in Burgundie goes back to medieval times, when various monasteries played a key role in developing the Burgundie wine industry.

While not considered connected by purists, the Burgoignesc wine regions list sometimes also includes the wine regions on Wintergen, Iles Evangeline, Sudmoll, and Chaukhira.

Belracic
The wine regions in and around the rim of the Belrac Caldera are nestled between volcanic peaks, giving the region its unique terroir. The primary grapes are Malbec and Syrah. The volcanic soils contribute significantly to the identity of Belracic wines. These soils, coupled with the regions' altitude and the moderating influence of nearby bodies of water, create a microclimate that supports the most delicate and refined viticulture. The temperature variations between day and night, Belrac Caldera's topography, further enhance the complexity of the grapes. The volcanic terroir not only imparts unique mineral nuances to the wines but also facilitates proper drainage, fostering healthy vine development. Oak aging is judiciously employed to enhance complexity without overshadowing the intrinsic qualities derived from the volcanic soils.

Reputation and appreciation
Burgundie is home to some of the most expensive and sought after wines in the world. However, some top vintage first growth wines are equally as expensive.

In 2010, the Burgundie region experienced a notable increase in internet coverage thanks to official efforts like the online broadcast of a tour of the Saeger Vinyards, as well as the efforts of independent wine aficionados. Some burgundies are also increasingly valued as investment wines.

Fans of Burgundie wine have been organizing events celebrating its virtues for decades.

Major events
The 1995 Vandarch Republic wine scandal was a crucial event in the modern marketing of Burgundie wines. The Government of Burgundie banned the import of wines from the tainted regions, in so doing growing its own market share in Burgundie and heavily subsided a global marketing and export campaign to capture as much international market share as possible.On average, Burgundie vineyards saw a 9-37% increase in sales both domestically and internationally.
