The vineyards and countryside of Burgundy are the region's treasure trove, waiting to be uncovered. Among the gnarled vines on the hillsides, where grapes have been grown down the centuries, you will find ancient stone walls and grand cast iron gates hosting evocative names such as Charme Chambertin. Locals say that the grapes here form the blank canvass on which the soil in these vinyards paints its colours. To spend time here, or on the "voie verte", a dedicated cycle route , is to experience the famous terroir which gives the region life.
