The region in the east of France covers 32,000 km². The capital is Dijon, but the wine capital is Beaune. Burgundy is divided into the four départements of Côte d'Or, Nièvre, Saône-et-Loire and Yonne. However, the Burgundy wine-growing region is not the same. The wooded Nièvre with its oak wood for the production of barrique barrels belongs to the Loire wine-growing region. The Département Rhône (not to be confused with the Rhône wine-growing region) in the south, the home of Beaujolais, is very independent. Administratively, it belongs to the Rhône-Alpes region, but is categorised as part of the Burgundy wine-growing region. The department of Yonne to the north, which includes the Chablis area, is also known as Basse-Bourgogne.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
