Welcome to our educational audio series, Burgundy Essentials!
Please remember – the audio series/media player can be downloaded only one time (on up to two different devices) and are not transferable from those devices. We are not able to replace lost downloads.
Following are some materials to provide support to the audio program. You will find a: - FAQ for the Flux Media Player/Flickrocket - Conversion Table - Listing of Burgundy’s 33 Grand Crus - Listing of Premier Crus - Table of Contents - Keyword List – this will be useful as you listen to assist with the names of communes, wines, producers and French terms. Each keyword is only listed once in the order presented in each Part. - A basic map of Burgundy and Chablis and a region map* - Label samples
There are also a number of informative audios, interviews and videos on the Burghound.com website that might be of interest after you listen to the audio series - http://www.burghound.com/audio-and-video-interviews-with-allen/
There are many good sources of additional information but we suggest you start with the BIVB (Burgundy’s trade organization) website: English: http://www.bourgogne-wines.com French: http://www.bivb.com
Current Burghound members have access to our detailed glossary on the website, but for non- subscribers here is a link to the BIVB’s glossary: www.bourgogne-wines.com/glossary/glossaire,2532,9412.html

I am getting a “Host not found” error in the Flux Media Player? You are probably behind a corporate firewall that is preventing the Flux Player from accessing the internet.

CONVERSION TABLE
AREAS
1 hectare = 2.471 acres or 100 ares or 10,000 square meters or 23.3 ouvrées
1 are = 100 square meters or 100 centiares
1 centiare = 1 square meter
1 ouvrée = 4.285 ares
1 journal = 8 ouvrées, or approximately 1/3 of a hectare, and 2.92 journaux is equivalent to 1 hectare
DISTANCE
1 kilometer = .62 miles
LENGTH
1 centimeter = .3937 inches 1 meter = 3.28 feet
TEMPERATURE
We have used the Celsius scale. Here is a website link with a table and converter option - http://www.asknumbers.com/CelsiusToFahrenheitConversion.aspx
YIELDS (Denominated in hectares)
1 hectoliter = 100 liters/hectare, which would be expressed at 1 hl/ha
100 liters = 133 bottles or ~11 cases
The typical yield realized by a “serious” domaine is 30 to 35 hl/ha, or around 4,500 bottles or ~390 cases
The usual planting density in the Côte d’Or is 10,000 vines per hectare. So 30 to 35 hl/ha is roughly 1/3 to ½ of a bottle per vine
The traditional Burgundian wine barrel, known as a pièce, contains 228 liters, or the equivalent of 304 bottles; note however that because of the presence of lees and the like, about 290 bottles (or ~24 cases) per traditional barrel is the practical reality

ENJOYING AND SERVING A note on spellings and accents: In traditional BURGUNDY French usage it is not common practice to accent 15 C (= 59 F) capital letters, so as an example, you will rarely 18 C (= 64.4 F) see Échézeaux but will see Echézeaux. 21 C (= 69.8 F) 12-13 C (= 53.6-55.4 F)
15.5-17 C (= 59.9-62.6 F) And as noted in the audio series, spellings, as
12-15 C (= 53.6-59 F) well as the use of accents, varies greatly.
Riedel Sommelier The same is true for French articles, such as le, la,
Vinum les, aux. There is tremendous variation and some Overture producers will use “aux” before a vineyard name Spiegelau and others will use “les”. We have done our best Zalto to provide the most common usage. Schott Zwiesel

Just a visual reminder – this label is also
from the commune (village) of Puligny-
Montrachet but is a premier cru from the
vineyard of Les Folatières – so note the
1er cru and vineyard name are included
here but not in the villages example
above.
REGIONAL LEVEL
LABEL EXAMPLES
Vintage
“Bourgogne Hautes Côte de Nuits” indicates regional level status; AOC controlled
While not necessary, the grape is listed
Bottled by the Producer; Producer Name
Vintage
“Bourgogne Aligoté” indicates regional level status and grape variety; AOC controlled
Bottled by the Producer; Producer Name; Location
\
Vintage
“Bourgogne Rouge” indicates regional level status; AOC controlled
Producer (note there is no reference to “mise en bouteille” or “au domaine” which may indicate this is a négociant bottling with purchased fruit or wine)
On a side note:
In 2011 the labeling nomenclature changed for regional wines which allows the name of the grape variety to be cited provided that at least 85% of the wine was made from that variety.
At left you will note the grape variety is larger than the classification.
