The Burgundy is a region french. Burgundy has a remarkably rich historical heritage: its hundreds of châteaux, its Romanesque churches, its vineyards (prestigious grands crus) and its renowned gastronomy. Lakes and forests, fishing and hiking.
Burgundy, with Nièvre, has a vast incomparable natural space. Wild landscapes, suitable for multiple sporting and cultural activities. Terroirs which invite to many taste discoveries.
Landscapes with an already Angevin softness, on the banks of the Loire, with hillsides covered with vines. The best-known product of Burgundy and its best ambassador is undoubtedly wine. From north to south of the province, on judiciously exposed terroirs, the prestigious appellations of Burgundy are growing happily.
