Burgundy, France
Bailly, a small but prominent village in Burgundy, brings us joy in more ways than one. Initially providing stones to French architectural triumphs like the Notre-Dame, Bailly is famous for its sparkling wines, Crémant de Bourgogne; and is the birthplace of the AOC for this wine style. Since 1972, family co-operative Bailly Lapierre (lapierre means ‘rock’ in French) has been producing these enchanting sparkling wines. Today, Bailly Lapierre is a must-see – not only is their cellar built within an abandoned stone quarry, but winery also commissioned artists from around the world to carve unique sculptures carved directly into the rocks!
