Climate change could affect Burgundy wine

The affects of climate change is causing concern across the world and it seems that France is no exception.

Last week, scientific experts gathered at the University of Burgundy in Dijon to discuss the effect that global warming could have on France's wine growing regions.

One claimed that the changes would be so pronounced that by the end of the century it would be possible to grow Syrah grapes as far north as Champagne.

Yet concerns have been raised that many parts of France, including the famous Burgundy region, could get too hot to grow grapes for wine.

Burgundy celebrates its love of wine


But it looks like for this year at least, the French wine industry is as booming as ever with Burgundy locals looking forward to a number of wine related events for 2007.

Two that are set to prove particularly popular with both visitors and locals alike are the traditional Beaujolais Nouveau celebrations held in November and the Chablis Wine Festival which takes place in the same month.

The former is hugely popular in villages and towns where it brings crowds together all over from France and Europe.

For those who want more than Burgundy wine


For those looking for a trip than involves more that booze there are plenty of other events and things to do in the Burgundy region.

Dijon is famous for more than just mustard and every year thousands of visitors head to the city's botanical gardens which were founded in 1833.

Set in the Jardin de L'Arquebuse, the gardens were created in a bid to grow, study and protect plants and flowers from the region and all over the globe.
