Specific to Burgundy, the term “climate” is not related to meteorology, but means a parcel of land dedicated to vines, precisely defined and known by the same name for centuries. The location, soil, subsoil, exposure, microclimate & history determine the characteristics, the unique personality of a land and a vintage. The “climate” form a mosaic of prioritized & world-renowned wines. 

Villages, Premier Crus, Grand Crus of Côte de Beaune and Côtes de Nuits … awaken in everyone’s mind, here or elsewhere, the wonderful & voluptuous taste of wines like Meursault, Corton-Charlemagne, Romanée-Conti, Pommard …
Sloping vineyards, the combined work of man and nature has created a culture whose success is considered as a world model, the reference of terroir viticulture. A true heritage.
