Burgoignesc wine regions

Burgoignesc wine is made in the Belracic, Faramountesc, 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.
