Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'white' specifies the color/type of wine and 'Burgundy' names the wine-producing region, so a learner who knows both words can infer it denotes a white wine from Burgundy. This adjective+region naming pattern is common in wine terminology (and across languages), making the core meaning transparent even if finer stylistic details (e.g., 'dry' or specific subregions like Chablis) require extra domain knowledge.
Etymology
White Burgundy is the name for a pale, dry wine from the Burgundy region of France. The word white points to the wine's light colour and Burgundy names the place, for example Chablis, where it is made, so the phrase means 'a dry white wine from Burgundy or a wine similar in style'.
