Ep 77 What Makes Burgundy Grapes & Wine So Special w/ Maison Shaps Winery (Part 2)
The world of Burgundy grapes and wine can be incredibly confusing, which is why I have the father-daughter duo, Hanna and Michael Shaps, back on the podcast. Today, they share what you really need to know about Burgundy.
So, what should we know about Burgundy?
How about the Aligoté grape? Once the underdog of Burgundy, it has now risen to 6% of Burgundy’s wine production.
Once considered a lesser varietal, Aligoté is making a remarkable comeback thanks to changing climates and innovative winemaking techniques.
We also learn why Hanna thinks the Boozéron appellation is something special to be a part of.
Then Michael delves into the importance of Burgundy’s parcellary system, explaining how the unique geographic and climatic conditions significantly influence the wine’s characteristics, even within short distances.
So, if you are ready to dive into emerging wine regions, unparalleled wine and cheese pairings, and the fascinating intricacies of Burgundy wine making - press play and listen in!
If you haven’t listened to Episode 76 go back and listen! It’s Part 1 of my interview with Hanna and Michael Shaps where we talked about the intricacies of Virginia and Burgundy wine production and how Hanna and Michael Shaps are at the forefront of the winemaking industry.
