Burgundy · Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Region 🍷 Dijon | The Starting Point of Burgundy This medieval town is the gateway to the Wine Route. Stroll through the Ducal Palace Square, admire Burgundy Gothic architecture, and touch the lucky owl statue on Owl Street. The morning market at Place de la Libération fills the air with the aroma of fresh bread and cheese—be sure to try Époisses cheese paired with local Pinot Noir. Climb the Philippe le Bon Tower to see the city's red rooftops sparkling under the sun. 🌿 Marsannay | The Land of Rosé Driving out of Dijon, the rolling vineyards of Marsannay come into view first. Most wineries here retain traditional stone buildings, and the bells of Saint Martin’s Church echo through the vineyards. In the evening, golden sunlight bathes the vines—perfect for opening a chilled rosé paired with a Burgundy ham platter. The old fountain square in the village center often hosts locals playing chess and chatting, full of life. 🏰 Gevrey-Chambertin | The Village of Kings Entering the village, the ruins of a medieval castle stand prominently in the middle of the vineyards. Hiking along the Grand Cru trails offers close-up views of terroir differences across plots. The village’s Wine Culture Museum displays ancient winemaking tools, while the Renaissance-style architecture of Comte de Vogüé winery is breathtaking. 🌹 Chambolle-Musigny | The Elegant Goddess This village, surrounded by streams, feels like a fairy tale. On the slopes of the Musigny Grand Cru, century-old vines root deeply in limestone soil. In the morning mist, walking along the Sentier des Grands Crus, the air is filled with the fresh scent of moist earth and grape leaves. The old stone house restaurant at the village entrance serves wild rabbit slow-cooked in red wine, perfectly paired with a glass of Musigny. 🔥 Vosne-Romanée | The Hermès of Wine Behind understated stone walls lie some of the world’s most expensive vineyards. The iron gate of Romanée-Conti is always mysteriously closed, but the stained glass of the village chapel casts grapevine patterns on the floor. At dusk, the whole village is bathed in golden sunset light, and the scent of oak barrels drifts from various wine cellars along the cobblestone streets. 🏆 Beaune | The Wine Capital The Hospices de Beaune with its colorful tiled roofs looks like a medieval painting, and its polyptych altar is an artistic treasure. The Saturday morning market is lively, with local farmers selling blackcurrant sweet wine and mustard-flavored bread. When exploring the underground cellars for tastings, notice the black mold growing on the walls—it’s a witness to the aging wine’s aroma. ☀️ Pommard | Strength and Structure This village built with rose-colored stones exudes masculinity. The century-old linden tree in the church square casts dappled shadows, and the nearby Old Winemaker Museum displays traditional grape-stomping wooden vats. A visit to Domaine de Courcel is recommended—they have vines planted in 1602 hidden within their walls. 🌿 Volnay | The Light Dancer From the village heights, you can overlook the terraced vineyards of the Côte de Beaune. The Romanesque bell tower of Saint Peter’s Church is a perfect viewpoint; at sunset, the vines reflect a purplish-red glow. The village pottery workshop still makes traditional wine jars, with artisans’ fingers stained red from clay. 💎 The Twin Jewels of Montrachet | The Holy Land of White Wine Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet share the world’s greatest dry white vineyards. The former village is refined and elegant, with roses climbing the walls of the Montrachet Grand Cru; the latter has a more rustic charm, with family cellars hidden in stone-walled alleys. The Montrachet Grand Cru between the two villages looks like a fairyland in the morning mist—remember to bring your camera to capture the morning light filtering through the grape leaves. ✨ Surprises Along the Way • Baroque fountain square in Meursault • Thermal ruins in Santenay • Wildflower trails in Maranges 📌 Travel Tips ✔️ Best Season: September to October during the grape harvest, when wineries are busiest ✔️ What to Wear: Comfortable shoes + light jacket, perfect for vineyard strolls ✔️ Photo Spots: The vineyard light is most beautiful at dawn or dusk
