| Burgundie has a higher number of Vineyard Origin Accredidations (VOAs) than any other wine region in Ixnay, and is often seen as the most terroir-conscious of the Ixnay wine regions. The various Burgundie VOAs are classified from carefully delineated HauptVin 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.
