Bourgogne Live is a website devoted to wine and gastronomy with a particular focus on the Burgundy region of France and Burgundy wine. In 2010, the website was listed by Wikio as the most read wine website in France.[1]
Web content
[edit]The website is run by François Desperriers and Aurélien Ibanez. They are noted for their niche focus on a single wine region[2] as well as their efforts to modernize the region's image through online tastings,[3][4] wine video,[5] and communicating on social networking sites.[6]
Role in the region
[edit]Bourgogne Live frequently participates in local Burgundy events and reports on them. Notable examples include their video footage of Les Hospices de Beaune[5] and their promotion of Les Climats de Bourgogne as a candidate for UNESCO's World Heritage status.[6]
