He is the president of the Burgundy Wine Board, which represents this region's 3,500 winemakers."The US is the largest export market for the whole region. Definitely," he tells me. "They are the biggest in volume and the biggest in value."

And, until Donald Trump's re-election, the US market was booming. While French wines and spirits global exports, sales of Burgundy wines to the US rose sharply.from 2024, to 20.9 million bottles. This was worth €370m ($415m; £312m) in revenues, 26.2% higher than in 2023.

Mr Labet says the US accounted for about a quarter of Burgundy's wine exports last year.Burgundy's reputation abroad is mainly for its red wines, which are made from the celebrated pinot noir grape. Indeed, in the English-speaking world, burgundy is not so much a wine as a colour.

The French word for the same colour is bordeaux; showing they know more about their wine, because while Bordeaux wines are mostly red, two-thirds of Burgundy is actually white.

These are predominantly made from the chardonnay grape. Chablis, one of the best-known examples, is extremely popular in the US."We have also passed on information from the public around safety concerns to allow organisers to make an informed decision on the running of the festival."
