Beefbourguignon originated in Burgundy, France, and was made with the wines of that region.
Beefbourguignon requires hours of slow cooking, so you want beef that will not only hold up under hours of heat exposure and taste better over time, but also render additional flavor to the sauce.
Unlike beefstew, the chunks of beef in beefbourguignon are usually "satisfyingly large and utterly tender," as described in Cook's Illustrated's "Soups and Stews." Cook's goes on to say that, "Beef Burgundy is earthy, big, robust, warm and welcoming in a brooding sort of way."
