The Grands Crus of
BOURGOGNE

In Bourgogne, ‘Climats’ refer to parcels of vines that have been strictly demarcated for centuries, often since the Middle Ages. Each Climat has its own unique characteristics, whether in terms of geology, hydrometry or exposure. Vinified separately from a single grape variety, each wine proudly bears the name of its Climat of origin. Thanks to the expertise of the winemakers, the personality of each Climat is revealed vintage after vintage. Nowhere else is wine production so closely linked to its terroir. The Climats de Bourgogne embody the essence of the Burgundy winegrowing model.
