About the Bourgogne Wine Board (BIVB)
The Bourgogne Wine Board is a professional organization that brings together all winegrowers and wine merchants from the Bourgogne region. Its role is to represent and protect the interests of Bourgogne winemakers and merchants, to define industry policy in technical, economic and marketing terms, and to conduct promotional activities.

Bourgogne is like a 32,000-hectare patchwork, representing just 0.5% of world wine production with an average of almost 200 million bottles annually. No other French region so neatly encapsulates the notion of terroir in such great quality wines. What makes Bourgogne wines stand out from the crowd is the intimate relationship between the soil, the influence of the microclimate, the grape variety, and the work of the winegrower.

Why we do not translate Bourgogne into Burgundy anymore? To re-affirm their identity, the region and the producers are reverting to the original French iteration of the name, Bourgogne. Bourgogne is our Family name and our appellations are our first names.
