The French word for the same colour is bordeaux; showing they know more about their wine, because while Bordeaux wines are mostly red, two-thirds of Burgundy is actually white.These are predominantly made from the chardonnay grape. Chablis, one of the best-known examples, is extremely popular in the US.
Burgundy also produces an increasingly successful sparkling wine, called Crémant de Bourgogne, and a small amount of rosé.All of which is good for Burgundy because while general red wine consumption just keeps going down, white is holding firm, and sparkling is going up.Also, the reds that come out of Burgundy are, according to Mr Labet, the kind consumers increasingly want, as they are typically lighter than New World reds.
"What is interesting to see is that there is a strong de-consumption of what we call the big reds, made in the US. Wines with a lot of alcohol, aged in new wood."Less sun and lower temperatures in Burgundy, even with climate change, means less sugar in the grapes and lower alcohol content.
Mr Labet remembers when, for 18 months of his first presidency, Donald Trump hit European wine with a 25% import tariff during a dispute over airlines.
"We were hostages of that situation, and it really did affect our sales to the US. We had a drop of about 50% of our exports to the US."Data from US Customs
