Wine
history in Burgundy
The
production of wine begun in Burgundy when the
Roman invaded the region. Later, during the sixth century
one of the nearby kings gave his vineyards to the church.
At the time of the French Revolution most of the best
Burgundy wines where produced by monasteries.
One of the consequence of the revolution in Burgundy was
the confiscation of the vineyards from the church to the
republic and their fragmentation in small plots. Nowadays,
the system of small vineyard still prevails in Burgundy.
