The Burgundy Glass is for swirling & releasing the wine aromas.
|
The shape of the glass captures and directs the delicate aromas to your nose
and leads the wine to the tip of your tongue for a better reception of the tastes.
The Burgundy glass was designed for the delicate and aromatic red wine Bourgogne Rouge, made from Pinot Noir grapes in Bougogne (Burgundy). |
Côte de Beaune is a French wine region in the southern part of Burgundy’s legendary Côte d’Or region .
The trend of producing Pinot Noirs continues from the Côte de Nuits (north in Côte d’Or), although these wines are known to be lighter and more perfumed.
