FRANCE 24 (July 6, 2023) – Beaune is the wine capital of France’s Burgundy region.

They contain two million bottles of wine, in a total of five kilometres of galleries, all linked together.

Meanwhile, the cellars of Maison Champy were once frequented by Louis Pasteur and Gustave Eiffel. The much more modern Jadot winery has an unexpected skylight.
