Fine wines<\/span><\/a> are not for everybody, but rather for the fortunate few. For many years, the finest wines of <\/span>Ribera del Duero<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Bordeaux<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Burgundy<\/span><\/a> have graced the dining tables of kings and queens, presidents and other politicians, and the rich and famous. The premium wines of these top regions are called \u201cfine\u201d for a reason: They come from the purest grapes in the world\u2019s best vineyard sites, they\u2019re made in small quantities by highly-skilled artisanal winemakers and, most importantly, they taste great.<\/span><\/p>\n Not every wine lover will have the opportunity to taste one of these legendary wines, sure. These wines are expensive, sometimes costing hundreds or even thousands of euros for a single bottle. For the privileged few that do so on a regular basis, however, we have laid on a list of some truly special gourmet food pairings to accompany these outstanding wines.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Spanish region of <\/span>Ribera del Duero<\/span><\/a> is home to a number of super-premium, \u201cicon\u201d wineries. <\/span>Dominio de Pingus<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Bodegas Vega Sicilia<\/span><\/a> are the region\u2019s top estates, though there are many wine wineries operating in their midst too.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bordeaux<\/a> is a big wine region that has a huge number of producers all vying for the attention of fine wine connoisseurs. Between the many different appellations and classification systems, it can be difficult to identify the very best of the best. Luckily, we don\u2019t have to make such a definitive statement. Instead, we have picked out two very top estates, one each from the left and right bank of Bordeaux.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If there is one other region in the world that can give Bordeaux a run for its fine wine money, it\u2019s Burgundy. Where Bordeaux makes big and powerful wines from its large estates and ominous, brooding ch\u00e2teaux, Burgundy is more about delicacy and nuance, and its estates tend to be microscopic by comparison. Indeed, the Burgundy vineyard is broken down into often tiny parcels known locally as \u201c<\/span>climats<\/span><\/i>\u201d, and any given vineyard may be divided into a great many individual <\/span>climats<\/span><\/i> each with its own proprietor. It\u2019s a complicated, fascinating region, but if you remember just one producer, make it the world\u2019s single most prestigious: <\/span>Domaine de la Roman\u00e9e-Conti<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [cta_generico id=2600]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fine wines are not for everybody, but rather for the fortunate few.
