Discover the Origin - The Burgundy Wines & Parma Ham Pairing Masterclass
Hosted by Fiona Beckett
The French wine-growing region of Burgundy is legendary for its legacy of red Burgundy (Pinot Noir).
Burgundy lies on the eastern side of France and covers just over 100 miles. The dominating grape varietals grown in this region are Pinot Noir (making Red Burgundy wines), Chardonnay (making White Burgundy wines) and Gamay (making Beaujolais).
Burgundy's moderate climate with warm summers and cold winters allow the high-maintenance Pinot Noir grape to grow particularly well.
Discover the Origin is a campaign to educate and inspire people about the PDO, AOC or DOC status, which gives all products under this banner, a guaranteed seal of quality and provenance.
Imagine a luxurious full bodied red wine, what better food to match it with than a wonderful flavoured red meat.
Fiona Beckett will take you on a delicious wine and food matching tour, of one of the best wine producing regions in the world.
Fiona Beckett is an award-winning food and drink writer, one of the UK’s leading experts on food and drink matching, a contributing editor to Decanter magazine and the author of 20 books on food and wine.
