WEATHER

Burgundy is dominated by the variations of western weather that characterise the whole of Western Europe.

In winter, there are frequent spells of fine, cold weather. In the summer, it is hot with a few welcome showers. Autumn (grape harvest time) is generally a pleasant, & sunny season. Probably one of our most beautiful times, where the colours of nature blend harmoniously with the gentle blue of the sky.
