Francois Labet, owner of Chateau de la Tour and Domaine Pierre Labet, who is also the President of the Bourgogne Wine Board, highlights why Australians should take a Closer Look at Bourgogne, particularly the Regionale wines.  He explains the history of Bourgogne, its grape varieties, the classification, and where hidden gems can be found.  During the episode he shares with us a delicious 2022 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Altitude.  Thank you Francois for your time and insight into what makes Bourgogne special.
