Removed content
I removed the following section, recently added by 202.7.190.130. It appears to be a chunk of text taken from some other source (though a search hasn't turned up anything). In general, the information is redundant and not written in good Wikipedia style (too many damned adjectives!), but I'm putting it here in case anyone feels that any or all of the information (properly Wikified, please!) needs to go back in. (The last line is obviously junk.) --Dcfleck 13:45, 2005 Jun 19 (UTC)
General
Bourgogne is a peaceful rural région at the heart of France, which has a rich and unique history. In English La Bourgogne is written as Burgundy. The name Burgundy originated in the 400’s when the Burgundians moved into Gaul from Germany in the 5th century A.D. These people established a kingdom that covers most of present-day South-Eastern France. At the height of its later power in the 14th and 15th centuries, Burgundy controlled vast territories in present-day Netherlands, Belgium, and northeast France. King Louis XI incorporated Burgundy into the French crown lands in 1477.
Burgundy is also home to a wealth of famous Romanesque churches and stately renaissance homes.
Bourgogne is world famous for it’s prestigious wine growing areas and wine producing areas. Its wines are complex Pinot noirs and Austere Chardonnays. The Pinot Noir grapes are the basis of their red wines and their white wines come from the Chardonnay grapes. Most of the vineyards are found in the attractive area called the Côte d'Or.
Interesting fact: The Ezzy Family has been traced back to Burgundy!
