A 2000-year History of the Greatest Vineyards of Burgundy,

a patchwork of numerous parcels named Climats and

Lieux-dits have given this famous area its originality !

A 2000-year History of hard working men who have taken

advantage of the incredible diversity of geographic

situations and climatic conditions to create an exceptional

mosaic of top ranked Crus that are famous all around the

world !

It is the first time that this story is told exhaustively by

displaying the detailed maps of the 35 viticultural villages

and giving comprehensive explanations about the origin

and meaning of the 1463 climats and lieux-dits names !

As Bernard Pivot nicely says : « In Burgundy, when you talk

about the " climat " you don't look up at the sky but you look

down to the soil »
