Burgundy’s wine-producing area stretches almost 300 km, from Joigny in Yonne to Mâcon in Saône et Loire. The historic and highly respected wine region in eastern France has had devout followers of its wine throughout the world for centuries. Although Bordeaux produces about four times as much wine every year, Burgundy’s estimated 30,000 hectares (74,000 acres) of vineyards are of equal prominence, producing some of the most exclusive wines on Earth. Burgundy wines come from several distinct subregions, each with its own particular character. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. There are other grape varieties too, of course, like Aligoté, Pinot Gris, Gamay, and Sauvignon Blanc but the primary focus of Burgundy’s production is Pinot Noir for Bourgogne Rouge and Chardonnay for Bourgogne Blanc. Geographically, Burgundy is separated into four sub-regions (listed northernmost to southernmost): Chablis, the Côte d’Or (which is further split into the Côte des Nuits and Côte de Beaune), the Côte Chalonnaise, and the Mâconnais. The most important of which is the Côte d’Or which holds 32 of the 33 Grand Cru Vineyards (24 of which are in the Côte des Nuits, the other eight in the Côte de Beaune). The remaining lone Grand Cru belongs to Chablis.

A CSRF token is a unique, secret, unpredictable value that is generated by the server-side application and transmitted to the client in such a way that it is included in a subsequent HTTP request made by the client. When the later request is made, the server-side application validates that the request includes the expected token and rejects the request if the token is missing or invalid. CSRF tokens can prevent CSRF attacks by making it impossible for an attacker to construct a fully valid HTTP request suitable for feeding to a victim user. Since the attacker cannot determine or predict the value of a users CSRF token, they cannot construct a request with all the parameters that are necessary for the application to honor the request.
